As the food industry grapples with growing health concerns and sustainability challenges, Beyond Oil Ltd. is pioneering an innovative solution that goes beyond oil for food.
The Israeli food-tech company has developed a patented filtration technology that extends the life of frying oil, reducing harmful compounds and cutting costs for food businesses. With its latest expansion into Canada, Beyond Oil is making waves in the North American food industry, bringing a healthier and more sustainable future to restaurants and consumers alike.
What is Beyond Oil Ltd.?
Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Kibbutz Yifat, Israel, Beyond Oil Ltd. specializes in food-tech innovations aimed at improving the safety and efficiency of fried foods. The company’s flagship product, a proprietary filtering powder, removes harmful substances such as:
- Free fatty acids (which degrade oil quality and impact taste)
- Acrylamide (a carcinogenic compound found in fried foods)
- Trans fats (linked to heart disease and obesity)
This technology extends the usability of frying oil for up to 60 days, reducing waste, cutting costs, and improving the overall quality of fried foods. Regulatory approvals from the FDA and Health Canada have further validated Beyond Oil’s breakthrough technology, enabling it to expand into global markets.
Why Beyond Oil for Canada Could be Impactful
Beyond Oil’s expansion into Canada comes when the food industry actively seeks sustainable, cost-effective solutions. The company’s innovative approach addresses three critical areas:
1. Healthier Fried Foods
Beyond Oil’s filtration technology makes fried foods safer for consumers by reducing carcinogenic substances and unhealthy trans fats. This is particularly important as Canada faces increasing public health concerns related to diet-related diseases.
2. Sustainability and Waste Reduction
Canada generates millions of liters of used cooking oil waste annually. Beyond Oil’s solution significantly reduces oil consumption, lowering the food service industry’s environmental footprint.
3. Cost Efficiency for Restaurants
With rising operating costs in the food industry, restaurants and food processors can benefit from Beyond Oil’s technology by reducing the frequency of oil changes, thereby cutting oil purchases and disposal expenses.
Significant Developments: Beyond Oil’s Strategic Moves in Canada
Beyond Oil has recently made several key advancements in Canada, strengthening its market presence and securing significant partnerships. These include:
1. CAD $10.5 Million Investment from Clal Insurance
On March 12, 2025, Beyond Oil announced a CAD $10.5 million investment from Clal Insurance Enterprises Holdings Ltd., a leading Israeli institutional investor. The investment, made at a 10% premium to market price, underscores confidence in Beyond Oil’s growth potential. Clal’s warrants for additional shares could increase its investment to CAD $21 million, ensuring future capital for expansion and product distribution.
2. Exclusive Partnership with West Coast Reduction Ltd. (WCRL)
Beyond Oil has partnered with West Coast Reduction Ltd. (WCRL), Western Canada’s largest cooking oil recycling company. As Beyond Oil’s exclusive distributor in Canada, WCRL will focus on rolling out the technology across food service and industrial frying sectors. Successful pilot programs in Canada have validated the product’s effectiveness, and WCRL is exploring local manufacturing opportunities to support North American demand.
3. Growing Commercial Success in North America
Beyond Oil recently reported receiving full payment for a significant order from Latitude, reflecting ongoing traction in the North American market. This demonstrates the increasing adoption of its technology among food service providers looking to enhance efficiency and sustainability.
The Future of Beyond Oil in Canada
With its innovative technology, strategic partnerships, and strong financial backing, Beyond Oil Ltd. is poised to reshape Canada’s food industry. The company’s focus on health, sustainability, and cost-efficiency makes it an ideal solution for restaurants, food processors, and industrial fryers looking to improve operations while reducing their environmental impact.
