PLANT-BASED SOLUTION
AAK USA Inc. featured its expanded portfolio of fat and oil solutions, including the launch of a new global brand for plant-based foods, AkoPlanet, which is designed to offer formulators a real-life solution for plant-based food and beverages. The company said its samples included plant-based sliced cheese, a dairy-free cheese that answers consumer demand for savory plant-based snacks; a vanilla soft-serve plant-based frozen dessert; and a peach- and passion fruit-flavored yogurt short, nutritionally optimized with a blend of phospholipids from egg yolk and vegetable oils that are high in omega-3 fatty acids.
