LONDON — ABF Ingredients Ltd., through its subsidiary Ohly, has acquired Bakon Yeast Inc., Rhinelander, Wis. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

Bakon Yeast is a manufacturer of yeast based savory ingredients. The company’s flagship brand is the Hickory smoked Torula Yeast product range. Bakon Yeast’s products are used in snack seasonings, sauces, meats and vegetarian foods.

The Bakon brand name will continue alongside the existing brand names of Ohly, Provesta, Brumami and ProDry, according to ABF Ingredients. The Bakon name will cover all products that utilize the natural smoking process of whole cell yeast and yeast components to produce added-value smoke flavorings.
