RFI, a leading provider of novel whole food solutions for the dietary supplement and functional food and beverage industries, has undergone a significant transformation during the last decade, creating a deep well of unique whole food and botanical ingredients, as well as expanding its manufacturing and formulation capabilities.

At SupplySide West, the RFI team is set to discuss some of the most popular product requests around fermentation—one of the latest megatrends to capture the attention of product developers.

RFI’s proprietary solution, FermaPro, has the capability to ferment any dry material—including grains, grasses, seeds, botanicals, vegetables, and fruits—using a variety of health-promoting bacterial or yeast cultures.

RFI’s fully integrated supply chain starts with a network of high quality and sustainable ingredients, but it doesn’t end there. RFI’s experienced applications team can help companies formulate, produce, and package products, with cost and lead time efficiencies that outperform most co-manufacturers.

Another highlight for RFI at SupplySide West is its proprietary counter-current extraction process, which delivers best-in-class liquid extracts, brews, and concentrates.

“Our natural brewing process, specifically, yields concentrated extracts with superior flavor and unmatched functionality,” said Trisha Devine, COO, RFI, adding, “And we use a variety of solvents—water, organic and conventional ethanol, organic and conventional glycerin, and propylene glycol USP—to achieve a range of viscosities and concentrates from syrups to bitters to tinctures.”

“We are so excited to get back to running a tradeshow at full steam,” said Jeff Wuagneux, CEO, RFI. “SupplySide West will give us the opportunity to remind everyone of our unique and very comprehensive product and manufacturing capabilities, from sourcing a wide range of novel organic ingredients to providing turnkey solutions that support companies of all sizes and needs.”
