BÆKKE, Denmark--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 10, 2026--
FERM FOOD ApS is launching a gluten-free, fermented binder for industrial bakeries. The new binder solves well-known challenges in gluten-free bread production from loose structure and crumbliness to the use of many separate additives.

The bread binder makes it possible to reduce the number of additives in the recipe and improve structure, sliceability, and taste.
"Our new gluten-free bread binder has been developed to make production simpler and more flavourful. When one binder can replace several functional components, it becomes easier for industrial bakers to standardise recipes, cut down on the number of ingredients, and add a deeper, slightly tangy, and more complex flavour — similar to what you know from sourdough bread," says Søren Lange, Head of Development at FERM FOOD ApS.
Tested by industrial bakers
The bread binder has already been tested in the industry, including at Vadehavsbageriet, a Danish speciality bakery producing gluten-free bread for the retail market:
"The binder made it possible to achieve a consistent result. The dough becomes more homogeneous, so the bread is elastic and delicious, and we can thereby reduce the complexity of the recipe — delivering good bread with a clean label," says Jytte from Vadehavsbageriet.
EU raw materials strengthen supply security
The binder is made from fermented buckwheat and fava beans sourced from the EU. Because it combines several functional properties in one solution, bakeries can reduce both the ingredient list and the number of components they keep in stock — helping to minimise costs and strengthen supply security.
Part of FERM FOOD's new binder system
FERM FOOD's Bread Binder is part of a new binder system, which also includes a FERM FOOD Binder for vegetables, legumes, and minced pork and chicken.
Fermentation technology is at the heart of the binders
FERM FOOD's binders are fermented with lactic acid bacteria, harnessing nature's own processes to create ingredients with natural functionality and increased nutritional value.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered leading off the eighth inning and the New York Yankees defeated the Cleveland Guardians 3-2 on Tuesday night.
Spencer Jones also went deep with his first major league home run for the Yankees, who have won three straight and are 10-4 since May 24.
Cleveland's Angel Martínez had two hits and an RBI. The Guardians have dropped three straight and five of six. They are also 2-6 in their last eight home games.
Chisholm once again used one of Aaron Judge's bats and drove a full-count slider from reliever Tim Herrin (0-2) into the right-field stands to put the Yankees on top. It was his third homer in his last six games.
Chisholm led off the second with a walk before Jones, the 25th overall pick in the 2022 amateur draft, connected on starter Slade Cecconi's cutter down the middle of the plate and drove it 443 feet over the center-field wall.
The Yankees' bullpen pitched five scoreless innings, and Camilo Doval (2-0) got the win after working the seventh. Fernando Cruz struck out four in 1 2/3 hitless innings for his third career save and first this season. He walked the leadoff batter in the ninth before striking out the next three.
Cleveland evened it in the third on RBI hits by Chase DeLauter and Martínez. DeLauter's single to drive in José Ramírez snapped an 0-for-18 Guardians slump with runners in scoring position.
Yankees starter Gerrit Cole gave up two runs and five hits with four strikeouts in five innings. The 2023 AL Cy Young Award winner was making his fourth start this season since returning from Tommy John surgery.
Cecconi allowed two runs on six hits and struck out seven in five innings.
Yankees LHP Carlos Rodón (1-2, 2.88 ERA) faces Guardians LHP Parker Messick (6-2, 2.40) in the series finale Wednesday afternoon.
