Ganeden Biotech Inc., makers of the patented probiotic strain GanedenBC30, announced a partnership with Pathway International Pty Ltd to exclusively distribute GanedenBC30 in all Australian and New Zealand markets.

The partnership will provide growth opportunities for Ganeden Biotech through increased distribution channels and access to an exclusive international supply chain network of leading manufacturers in Australia and New Zealand.

“Partnering with Pathway International is an important step in achieving our global expansion goals for 2010,” said Andrew Lefkowitz, Ganeden Biotech president and CEO. “We are confident that Pathway International’s proven track record in successfully distributing innovative health and wellness ingredients will help our probiotic reach consumers in these markets looking to improve their digestive health and boost immunity with probiotic-enhanced food, beverage and supplement products.”

Since 2008, GanedenBC30 has been incorporated in more than 40 products widely distributed throughout North America. Due to the unique ability of the shelf-stable probiotic to survive harsh manufacturing processes, it can be incorporated into a variety of products ranging from frozen yogurt to baked goods.

“We look forward to a long-term relationship with Ganeden Biotech through which we can help introduce GanedenBC30 to new markets and manufacturers interested in innovative functional ingredients,” said Wayne Coote, managing director of Pathway International.

Founded in 1996, Ganeden Biotech Inc. is a private company based in Cleveland, Ohio, and is the largest seller of over-the-counter probiotics in the US through its Digestive Advantage and Sustenex brands. It also licenses its patented probiotic bacteria, GanedenBC30, for use in commercial food and beverage applications as well as in medical foods and dietary supplements.
