Overview
Lycored Ltd. is an Israeli ingredient company headquartered in Beer Sheva, Israel, specializing in tomato-derived carotenoid ingredients for the dietary supplement, food, and beverage industries. Lycored grows proprietary non-GMO tomato varieties using Israeli-developed seed genetics (Hebrew University/Volcani Center) on farms in both Israel and California. Key branded ingredients include Lyc-O-Mato (natural tomato extract complex containing lycopene, phytoene, phytofluene, and beta-carotene) and Tomat-O-Red (California-grown natural tomato colorant). FDA issued a no-questions response to LycoRed Natural Products Industries' GRN 156 for specified uses of tomato lycopene extracts in 2005, with a caveat that some uses may require a color additive listing. Lycored operates US headquarters in Somerville, New Jersey, and a milling and blending facility in Branchburg, New Jersey.
