Hälsa Foods

Hälsa Foods is a plant-based food technology company that specialized in the production of 100% clean-label oat-based dairy alternatives. The company developed a proprietary manufacturing process that transforms whole grain organic oats into a yogurt-like product, branded as 'Oatgurt,' without the use of synthetic enzymes, gums, or chemical additives. Founded by industry veterans Helena Lumme and Mika Manninen, the brand emphasized Scandinavian agricultural standards and high-quality organic ingredients. Despite achieving significant retail distribution in the United States and receiving backing from prominent health-food investors, the company ceased active operations around 2022.
