Mooncakes and ice cream sandwiches are getting a sustainable upgrade thanks to a limited-edition launch for the Mid-Autumn Festival, featuring two new Atlr.72 products made with Soldar Foods' air-based protein, Solein.
Solein is an inventive dairy alternative that provides not only protein but also richness and a reduced environmental impact. In partnership with Japanese food manufacturer Ajinomoto Group, Solar Foods will be introducing Traditional Flowering Mooncakes and Ice Cream Sandwiches to Singapore under Ajinomoto’s new brand, Atlr.72. At a time when Singaporeans are looking for gifts, the mooncakes and ice cream sandwiches will be available for a limited time at an Ajinomoto pop-up.
Since Singapore granted regulatory approval for Solein, Solar Foods sees this as a significant leap in the wider availability of the air-based protein for consumers and larger-scale commercial use.
