Formulate with Clean Label Ingredients for Back-to-School Success
With the new school year upon us, ensuring that children have the
sustained energy they need for learning, playing, and growing is
more important than ever.
Research has shown that there is a close link between nutrition and learning, and a healthy diet improves most children’s ability
to focus—impacting brain function, behavior, memory and mood. The basics of a healthy diet include a variety of sustainable
fruits, vegetables, grains, proteins and dairy (or fortified plant alternatives). Meals should include an assortment of nutrient-rich
foods while snacks and beverages should aim to offer a high vitamin and mineral content with small quantities of added sugar.
Our Certified Organic & Non-GMO ingredients are ideal across a wide range of child-friendly formulations, encouraging kids and
parents alike in their quest for more balanced and nutritious food choices.
PLANT PROTEINS & FLOURS
(Organic & Non-GMO)
Plant Proteins & Flours are the perfect way to add valuable protein and nutrition to child-friendly meal and snack formulations.
Energy Bars, Balls & Smoothies often include Pumpkin or Almond Protein, while clean label Baked Goods (such as Muffins,
Cookies and Cakes) are often formulated with a blend—such as Yellow Pea Protein mixed with Sunflower Protein + standard
baking flour—resulting in excellent flavor & texture.
LECITHIN
(Organic & Non-GMO)
Lecithin is known as mother nature’s multipurpose ingredient—where only a tiny drop of liquid or powder is needed to add a wide
range of functionality to various Food products. Both Sunflower & Rapeseed Lecithin are used in child-friendly applications such
as Trail Mixes, Granola Bars, Sauces and Extruded Snacks (Veggie Straws, Pretzels, Crackers, Chips, etc.) to help bind
ingredients, maintain freshness, and improve texture while they are often used in Bread and Baked Goods to extend shelf-life.
SWEETENERS
(Organic & Non-GMO)
Sustainable sweeteners are an excellent way to lower sugar intake across child-friendly formulations while still keeping your tiny
consumers smiling! Crystalline Fructose serves as an excellent option for Energy Drinks and Baked Goods—offering a low GI
score of around 20 and 1.4x the sweetening power of sucrose (sugar). Dextrose Monohydrate is another excellent sweetener that
works to extend shelf-life in applications such as Gummy Fruit Snacks, Ice Cream & Dairy, and Baked Goods.
STARCHES
(Organic & Non-GMO)
Clean label starches work to enhance a variety of back-to-school Food applications thanks to their Gluten-Free properties,
thickening abilities, high viscosity and neutral odor & flavor. Native Corn Starch works as a functional powerhouse across Yogurt
Bowls, Puddings, Soups, Custards, Extruded Foods and Meat Products.
HIGH OLEIC SUNFLOWER OIL
(Organic)
High Oleic Sunflower Oil RBDW is known as the perfect, neutral oil that won’t impact other ingredient flavors. This product is
used across a wide range of back-to-school Food & Beverage items for it’s nutritional profile and excellent stability. Target
applications include Salad Dressings, Dips, Sauces, Dried Fruit, Stir Fry Vegetables, Meal Replacement Drinks, Infused
Waters, Smoothies & Baked Goods.
