VANCOUVER, British Columbia & KIBBUTZ YIFAT, Israel – Sodexo Israel, the nation’s foremost provider of catering and building-maintenance services, and Beyond Oil Ltd. (CSE: BOIL) (OTCQB: BEOLF), a pioneering food-tech innovation company, today announced a significant strategic collaboration. Sodexo has officially selected Beyond Oil as its new supplier of choice for its revolutionary, patented frying oil filtration solution. This decision follows a highly successful pilot program conducted at several of Sodexo Israel’s key catering sites, leading to the imminent rollout of Beyond Oil’s innovative filter powder to additional locations throughout Sodexo Israel’s extensive catering network. This partnership underscores both companies’ commitment to elevating food quality, promoting health and safety, and championing environmental sustainability within the food service industry.
Revolutionizing Frying Practices with Advanced Filtration Technology
The Beyond Oil filter powder represents a proprietary and food-safe formulation meticulously engineered to address the inherent challenges of oil degradation during the frying process. When seamlessly blended directly into cooking oil, this advanced powder actively binds with and significantly reduces a wide array of harmful contaminants that accumulate over time. These targeted compounds include free fatty acids (FFA), total polar materials (TPM), undesirable trans fats, acrylamide, anisidine value, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and carbon particles released from fried foods. By neutralizing these byproducts, the solution effectively combats off-odors, discoloration, and off-flavors, thereby ensuring the consistent production of high-quality, delicious fried foods.
The benefits of integrating Beyond Oil’s solution extend far beyond just food quality. This innovative process dramatically extends the useful life of frying oil, leading to substantial operational cost savings for large-scale catering operations. Crucially, it also lowers toxic emissions in kitchen fumes, creating a healthier working environment for culinary staff. Most importantly, this commitment places the health and safety of both customers and kitchen personnel at the forefront, aligning with the highest standards of food service excellence.
“We are proud to lead yet another significant advancement in sustainability,” said Udi Ben Shimol, CEO of Sodexo Israel. “Our partnership with Beyond Oil perfectly illustrates how innovation, environmental stewardship and operational efficiency can come together to benefit all of our stakeholders.”
By opting for Beyond Oil’s cutting-edge technology, Sodexo Israel further demonstrates its deep-seated commitment to social and environmental responsibility. This initiative is in direct alignment with Sodexo’s overarching global strategy, which prioritizes reducing its ecological footprint across all operations and continuously enhancing the quality of food served to its millions of customers worldwide.
“Sodexo Israel’s rollout of our solution across premier catering sites, including those serving the healthcare, defense, and leading companies across multiple industries, is a powerful validation of our technology,” said Jonathan Or, CEO of Beyond Oil. “We’re proud to partner with a global leader that prioritizes health, sustainability, safety, and quality, and we look forward to working closely with Sodexo’s Israeli leadership to scale this success across their global network.”
The initial results from the pilot program conducted by Sodexo Israel, which utilizes approximately 400,000 liters of frying oil annually, have been overwhelmingly positive. Key benefits observed include a marked improvement in the overall quality of fried food, a significant reduction in oil consumption, and exceptionally high satisfaction levels reported by both kitchen teams and diners. These compelling outcomes pave the way for a broader implementation, promising substantial improvements in efficiency and sustainability.
