I spend most of my day talking with food manufacturers, R&D teams, and ingredient buyers, and one thing I've noticed is that a lot of people are testing alternatives to what they're currently using.
We've recently brought in samples for a range of ingredients, including cocoa powders, tapioca starches, vitamins, xanthan gum, and a few others.
A few that have generated the most interest lately:
- Cocoa Powder – Natural, Dutch, Medium-fat, High-fat
- Tapioca Starch – Native (Non-Organic), Organic (Thailand Origin)
- Vitamin A Oil / SD CWS
- Vitamin C BP/USP/FCC/EP
- Vitamin D3 Oil / SD CWS
- Xanthan Gum
If you're working on a project and need samples, specifications, or documentation, feel free to reach out.
Also curious to know:
What ingredient are you currently struggling to source, replace, or optimize?
The best conversations I've had through CFIN have started with a simple question like that.
Happy to connect and see if I can help.
