The Nasdaq-listed company said the clean-label beverage test supports process optimization and manufacturing readiness ahead of planned full-scale production in Webster City, Iowa.
Edible Garden AG Incorporated said it completed a prototype production run for its clean-label ready-to-drink, or RTD, beverages at Tetra Pak's New Product Development Center, a step the company said advances commercialization of its Farm-to-Formula® strategy. The company said the run validated its proprietary formulations under commercial processing conditions and is expected to support process optimization, customer sampling and manufacturing readiness as it moves toward full-scale production at its planned Prairie Hills facility in Webster City, Iowa. Edible Garden said the platform targets shelf-stable nutritional beverages in categories including sports nutrition, functional wellness, meal replacement and protein beverages, while also supporting both branded products and private-label manufacturing.
