Today’s health-conscious consumers are trying to live their best lives. As a result, they’re looking for functional foods and beverages that do more than fuel the body. Consumers are reading labels and discovering that cheese, yogurt, drinkable yogurt, kefir, and other fermented dairy products not only provide satiety but are proven to benefit digestive health.
“Cultured dairy ingredients, like probiotics and enzymes, have been experiencing increased demand due to their perceived health benefits and versatile applications,” states Kyra Appleby, innovation technologist at iTi Tropicals. At Expo West, the Lawrenceville, N.J., flavor company saw more products, both dairy-based and non-dairy based, promoting the use of probiotics to support consumers’ health.
