Retail Readiness Training Program Alumnus Bryant Williams Leads Breakthrough in Peanut-Allergy Innovation
We’re thrilled to highlight Bryant Williams, a 2025 alumnus of the Retail Readiness Training Program, whose work is receiving national attention for its potential to transform the future of food safety. Bryant, the founder of CoreWellness, is helping advance a groundbreaking effort to create an allergen-reduced peanut that could make life significantly safer for individuals and families affected by severe peanut allergies.
Recent features in AP News and the Star Tribune highlight the progress Bryant and his partners at Agrinetica are making through cutting-edge gene-editing technology. Their goal is straightforward but incredibly ambitious: reduce the proteins responsible for triggering allergic reactions so more people can enjoy a food that has long been off-limits. If successful, this innovation could reshape the conversation around food allergies and expand access to safe, nutritious options for millions of people.
Bryant’s dedication to health innovation reflects a strong commitment to creating safer, more inclusive food systems. This milestone is an inspiring example of how focused, mission-driven work can lead to solutions with meaningful global impact.
Congratulations to Bryant on this important recognition and on the continued progress he is making in the field of allergen-reduced foods.
