consumers expect in their breads, cakes, cookies, crackers and more. That’s why real dairy continues to be a critical part of formulations. Real dairy is also part of the “back-to-basics” trend that appeal to consumers who seek out more naturally nutritious products. Younger generations associate descriptors such as “organic” and “natural” with “healthy” food, according to the 2023 Food and Health Survey from the International Food Information Council (IFIC), Washington, DC.

Part of this is because they know where real dairy comes from and appreciate its strict chain of supply.

They work synergistically with other ingredients, such as butter, cheese and other fats to boost the overall flavour impact and deliver deliciousness while keeping products affordable. “Our ingredient solutions can deliver
better-tasting foods with improved nutritional profiles while keeping ingredient costs down,” said Michael Ivey, National Sales Director at Butter Buds. “These concentrates capture rich flavour and deliver a full-bodied mouthfeel with better texture, while masking off-flavours and rounding out any harsh notes. Plus, our solutions help manufacturers meet the demand for clean labels, with real dairy, dairy alternatives and organic options. “Having our hard-working ingredients in the matrix often means manufacturers can reduce usage levels of whole butter and cheese,” said Ivey. “This is very helpful during inflationary times and when supply chains are strained.” ●
