New Strategic Relationship with Daiya Foods

MicroSalt announces a new strategic relationship with Daiya Foods, a leader in dairy-free and plant-based innovation foods.

MicroSalt plc (AIM: SALT), a leading manufacturer of full-flavour natural salt with approximately 50% less sodium, is pleased to announce a new relationship with Daiya Foods Inc. ("Daiya Foods"), a global leader in dairy-free and plant-based food innovation. MicroSalt has received an initial order of $50k to begin production and its projected 2026 volume to approximate $500k.

Acquired by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd in 2017 for $405 million, Daiya Foods is recognised for pioneering dairy-free products that deliver the taste, texture, and nutritional satisfaction consumers expect from traditional dairy foods. Available in 25,000 grocery stores in the US and Canada, as well as through e-commerce partnerships, Daiya Foods' products can be found internationally in Asia, Europe, and Latin America.

MicroSalt expects to be integrated into the Daiya Foods portfolio of product lines, with an initial focus on cheese and pizza dough, supporting Daiya Foods' mission to provide delicious, accessible, and healthier plant-based alternatives. The collaboration represents an important step in expanding MicroSalt's reach beyond the snack sector into broader food applications where sodium reduction has traditionally challenged flavour and functionality.

This collaboration further reinforces MicroSalt's position as a preferred partner for global food manufacturers seeking to meet consumer demand for healthier, full-flavour products. As the drive toward sodium reduction accelerates across international markets, MicroSalt continues to expand its footprint across multiple categories, from snacks and condiments to frozen meals and dairy alternatives, enabling brands to achieve meaningful sodium reduction without compromise on taste or texture.

Rick Guiney, CEO of MicroSalt, commented:

"We're very pleased to align efforts with Daiya Foods, a company that shares our vision of making healthier eating both delicious and accessible. This collaboration demonstrates the versatility of MicroSalt's technology across diverse food categories-from dairy-free alternatives to frozen meals and sauces. It's another step in our journey to make sodium reduction a standard part of holistic, better-for-you reformulation across the food industry."
