LeanLife’s manufacturing equipment arrives at Vancouver facility

LeanLife Health has received processing and manufacturing equipment at its production facility located in Vancouver, British Columbia.

The equipment will be used to convert raw flaxseed oil into unique oils with qualities that cannot be obtained from the standard flaxseed ingredients.

If processed further, the oils are transformed into emulsions and powders.

LeanLife explained that all of its products can be used as a food additive or as a nutraceutical, and can be incorporated in foods such as bread, noodles, cheese, yoghurt, juice and milk products.

LeanLife chief executive officer Stan Lis said: “We are very pleased to have a full suite of equipment on-site and look forward to initial Omega 3 oil test production in the near future.

“Preparation for operating the production facility is progressing smoothly and we are excited about our next steps, which include commercial permitting and obtaining food industry certifications for our product line.”

The new 4,000ft² facility in Vancouver was leased by the company earlier this year.

The company has also established a temporary laboratory in the Vancouver area where tests will be performed before initialising production.

LeanLife intends add services and leasehold improvements in order to enable the commissioning and set-up of the equipment.
