About MeelunieGPI

Bringing the Fava Bean Ingredients from Denmark to the world.  

Meelunie has more than 155 years of expertise in plant-based ingredients worldwide. 

MeelunieGPI, our own production facility, combines global reach, deep ingredient knowledge, and cutting-edge sustainable production—creating the innovative, high-quality ingredients that will shape the future of food. 

Innovation

Valorizing the entire fava bean with outstanding technology

We use a  dairy technology for plant-based products. This ensures the gentle, aqueous fractionation of the fava beans into high-value ingredients . By employing this clean technology, we make optimal use of natural resources: almost 90% of the bean is in use.

Low Climate Footprint

We use the most sustainable production processes possible. Part of the water used in production is filtered and reused, creating a circular system. Any heat generated is captured for reuse in the local municipality’s heating system.

Locally sourced

We strive to source all our fava beans regionally, both to encourage a positive environmental impact through improved crop rotation and to reduce farm-to-factory CO2 emissions.

Allergen free

Fava bean ingredients are not considered major allergens, making them especially attractive to food formulators looking for ‘free from’ ingredients.

100% PLANT-BASED

At no stage in the production process have our ingredients been supplemented with ingredients or substances of animal origin.

BECOME OUR PARTNER

Keeping the supply chain short and green

At MeelunieGPI, we like to keep our products clean and simple, just as much as we like to keep our production green and smart. Producing ingredients contributes to a better world and should also contribute to a better local community.
