Robertet (Grasse, France) and Fleur de Vie are launching Spiruline Safe, a spirulina ingredient manufactured by Fleur de Vie using a unique production process developed with full traceability within a certified food-safety environment. The highly sustainable process utilizes residual heat from a neighboring industrial site.
Robertet will actively promote Spiruline Safe and will work on new combinations with other proprietary ingredients to develop innovative solutions for the dietary supplement and functional food markets. Additionally, Robertet invested a substantial minority stake in Fleur de Vie, and the two will continue to work together on future microalgae developments.
A fully dedicated production site will be completed in the second semester 2021 in the Bearn area of South West France. Spiruline Safe will be marketed before the end of the year.
