To help brands capitalise on the market opportunity for healthy indulgence, FrieslandCampina Ingredients will be launching two new plant protein concepts – a tasty chocolate ready-to-drink (RTD) application and a high protein pudding – at Fi Europe’s New Product Zone.
The concepts are powered by the company’s innovative Plantaris Pea Isolate 85 A, which has been specially designed to help manufacturers overcome common challenges in plant-based formulation.
