noDoh Cookie Dough
UNITED KINGDOM - 2024 noDoh Cookie Dough is a sustainable, ready to eat or bake dessert that uses the main by-product of the beer brewing process, spent grain. It is vegan, high fibre and promotes a circular food system.
We focus on our eco-credentials and pride ourselves on using a highly valuable by-product into human food systems, using environmentally friendly ingredients and being free from palm oil, dairy and eggs. Brewer’s Spent Grain (BSG) is left over after the beer brewing process and is commonly sent to be used as animal feed and to landfill. We have used it into our product to utilise this source of fibre into the dessert industry and to craft treats from craft brews. Our target market are the eco conscious Generation Z and we appeal to a wide customer base as we are vegan and free from all allergens except gluten. We rival competitors as we are giving our customers an indulgent treat without using artificial flavours, colours or preservatives. We currently have two products. Our Premium Chocolate Chunk Cookie Dough uses high quality, vegan chocolate to create a nostalgic, indulgent treat. Our vanilla cookie dough is fully customisable by the customer and can be personalised with their favourite toppings and fillings. In future, there is opportunity to expand our range into different dessert products like brownie batters and to include limited time offers like Festive flavours. Our process is easily upscaled and we will sell to our customers through retail and online outlets. Our packaging is fully compostable, and we will also use BSG as a biofuel to power our production plant. The product is fully compliant with EU regulations and food safety is of great importance to us.
