Eclipse Foods are the groundbreaking, plant-based dairy innovators creating products that are indistinguishable in taste, texture and functionality from their dairy counterparts. Created by co-founders Aylon Steinhart, a senior advisor at the Good Food Institute, and Thomas Bowman, an award-winning chef and former Director of Product Development at JUST, the duo is on a mission to create plant-based dairy products with the creamy texture and indulgent flavor of dairy but without the health, environmental, and welfare issues attached to traditional animal products. Eclipse Foods' products are made without soy, nuts, coconut, gluten, GMO's, gums or stabilizers, making them free from all common allergens and much cleaner than other products. They are backed by Reddit co-founder and Impossible Foods investor Alexis Ohanian.
