A snapshot of our category expertise

Gum drops

Formulating gum drops with clean-label ingredients can often result in lacklustre taste and texture. With our plant-based starches, you can develop more ‘process-friendly’ formulations, saving you time, money and resources, without losing the sweet flavours and chewy textures consumers love.

Fortified or enriched gummies

When designing fortified or enriched gummies, it’s not always easy to achieve the necessary sweetness, texture or stability. Using sweeteners, gelling agents and texturants, we can help you create soft, chewy gummies that appeal to all ages.

Chocolate

Cutting down on sugar in chocolate can affect mouthfeel, melt, and depth of flavour. With our formulating expertise and sweeteners and texturants, you can create reduced-sugar chocolate without losing the rich taste, silky textures, and indulgent sensory experience.
The sweetest partnership in the industry.

With our decades of expertise, we can help you formulate sweet treats that delight the senses, hitting the sweet spot between indulgence, nutrition and value.
