CROP to Infuse its ‘CannaDrink’ Functional Beverage With Naturally Splendid’s HempOmega™

CROP Infrastructure Corp. (CSE: CROP) (CSE: CROP.CN) (OTC: CRXPF)(Frankfurt: 2FR) (“CROP“ or the “Company“) announces that further to its LOI with Naturally Splendid Enterprises (TSX-V: NSP)(OTCQB: NSPDF) (previously announced on August 14^th 2018) CROP will utilize NSP’s proprietary HempOmega^™powder created from microencapsulated hemp seed oil in its ‘CannaDrink’ functional beverage line currently being developed.

CannaDrink will now be available in all other jurisdictions containing HempOmega^™ where CBD products are not yet approved. CROP’s new cannabis-infused line of soft drinks called CannaDrink will be a zero calorie, non-GMO, ketogenic-friendly line of soda pop, tea, and coffee variations.

HempOmega^™ is a unique and proprietary homogenous powder created from microencapsulated hemp seed oil. It is a high-quality and sustainable omega fatty acid alternative ingredient. Due to its unique powder format, it solves the formulation challenge manufacturers face when trying to add oil to existing products and has proven to increase the bioavailability of omega fatty acids. The global carbonated soft drinks market is projected to reach USD 605.6 billion by 2025, according to a March 2018 report by Grand View Research, Inc.

In addition to its CannaDrink beverage line, CROP is working with Naturally Splendid to develop a “Hempire” branded hulled hemp seed and protein powder product line. CROP and Naturally Splendid are currently testing a variety of flavors and formulations created by NSP specifically for the Hempire Brand that will be enhanced with NSP’s HempOmega^™.

Naturally Splendid CEO Mr. Douglas Mason states, “We are pleased to be working with CROP to create quality, white-labelled hemp products for the Hempire brand as well as providing our proprietary HempOmega^™ingredient for CROP’s innovative CannaDrink functional soft drink line. CannaDrink is formulated to deliver superior omega nutrition, by utilizing Naturally Splendid’s proprietary HempOmega^™ it provides ‘first mover advantage’ for Naturally Splendid and CROP to formulate cannabis formulated beverages and edibles as HempOmega^™ has been approved for product fortification without the concern or restrictions of cannabinoid formulated beverages and edibles

Michael Yorke, CEO and Director of CROP Infrastructure states: “We believe in the nutritional spectrum and health benefits of both hemp and CBD so adding a consumer goods vertical was a logical progression as consumer data shows strong trends in plant-based foods and nutritional products. We see it as a tremendous opportunity for CROP Infrastructure’s branding & IP portfolio.”
