Certifications Back Our Personal Care Solutions

In an industry where words like “natural” and “organic” are frequently touted, transparency matters. That’s why CP Kelco relies on the backing of well-respected, third-party certifications with strict standards. They provide our customers with an extra layer of trust that our ingredients are aligned with your goals of product safety, animal welfare, ethics and origin.

The mission behind the COSMOS^® seal is to create an international standard for identifying natural and organic products. The seal ensures environmentally friendly production and processing as well as responsible use of natural resources and a respect for biodiversity.

NATRUE^® certification, from the International Natural and Organic Cosmetics Association, signifies that a product contains only 100% natural, natural-derived or nature-identical substances.

B Corp. Certification from the nonprofit B Lab is one of the most trusted in the world. It speaks to a company’s overall environmental and social impact. Using a rigorous assessment, it verifies that the company operates with transparency, integrity and is structured to be accountable to all stakeholders, from employees to suppliers and the planet. Zanea Seaweed Co., our seaweed raw material supplier for the GENU® Carrageenan family recently achieved this honor – a first for this space.

Home / Insights / Innovative Concepts in Ambient Drinking Yogurt

Innovative Concepts in Ambient Drinking Yogurt

Ambient drinking yogurts (ADY) are fermented dairy or plant protein-based products which undergo an extra heat treatment that provides them with the benefit of a long shelf life:

Less food is lost to spoilage. Many yogurt products are thrown out simply because of the short “best by” date on the label so this is a giant step towards reducing food waste.
Consumers appreciate the convenience of having a protein snack that doesn’t require refrigeration. This means it can easily be stored in a school lunchbox, backpack or gym bag without worry.
By extension, a longer shelf life can mean improved production and distribution efficiencies, no special storage requirements, raw material and energy savings, as well as increased profitability for manufacturers.

Innovation shines in the ADY category through a variety of novel flavors, textures and formats that appeal to all ages. Here are the trends we are seeing:

Functional ADY: Supporting consumers’ health and wellness with protein, dietary fiber, digestion and immunity support, and vitamins.
ADY with Particulates: Fruit pieces, grains and other additions provide nutrition as well as a fun, dual texture experience.
Clean Label-Friendly: Simpler formulations with no added sugar or reduced sugar and “natural” ingredient claims.
Variety of Textures & Packaging Preferences: From refreshingly light to rich and indulgent textures to reach every consumer’s taste, as well as new aseptic cartons, pouches and PET (polyethylene terephthalate) packaging. This personalization trend addresses everyone’s preferred consumption occasion with convenience.
Expanded ADY Applications: The extension of ADY applications from consumer packaged goods (CPG) to the foodservice channel creates new innovation opportunities, such as milk-tea-juice-yogurt drinks, offering a tasty balance of sweet and sour with protein to meet consumer demand for healthier beverages at the chain store level.

Formulating for Ambient Drinking Yogurt

CP Kelco can help formulators innovate using a portfolio of nature-based ingredient solutions for dairy yogurt or plant-based yogurt alternatives, such as…

GENU^® Pectin for protein protection during heat treatment, stability, suspension, texture enhancement, syneresis control and a pleasant mouthfeel.
KELCOGEL^® Gellan Gum for suspension of particles and insoluble minerals, syneresis control and added texture.
NUTRAVA^® Citrus Fiber, is upcycled from citrus peels, a byproduct of the juice industry. It supports fiber intake as well as starch replacement, syneresis control, body and mouthfeel.

How NUTRAVA^® Citrus Fiber Adds Value to Ice Cream & Plant-Based Ice Cream Alternatives

Consumers today are looking for products that are “good for you” and “good for the planet” too. This includes their favorite indulgent treats like ice cream, where the megatrends of health and sustainability have merged to become “healthy indulgences.” Knowing that consumers may perceive a product with more ingredients listed on the label as less healthy, CP Kelco is happy to introduce a new solution for ice cream manufacturers: NUTRAVA^® Citrus Fiber, which may help you remove up to four commonly used stabilizers on your label. It can help you clean up your label without giving up the creamy, indulgent mouthfeel that consumers crave.

NUTRAVA^® Citrus Fiber can help you develop new hardpack, bar and soft-serve ice cream products by providing an upcycled, recognizable, single ingredient alternative to industry standard blends while maintaining quality, potentially improving melt resistance, increasing firmness and improving costs without impacting the manufacturing process.

An Upcycled Ingredient

Upcycled from citrus peels, a byproduct of the juice industry, NUTRAVA^® Citrus Fiber is the first Upcycled Certified^® citrus fiber on the market.* In ice cream, it also helps to improve melt resistance to combat the fluctuating temperatures of shipping and transit, which can lead to food waste.

CP Kelco Commends U.S. Customs and Border Protection for Determination in Xanthan Gum Anti-Dumping Case

ATLANTA (June 18, 2024) – CP Kelco, a global leader of nature-based ingredient solutions, commends U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for their diligent investigation and subsequent determination of evasion in Enforce and Protect Act (EAPA) Case 7814. CBP’s findings confirm that Texas United Chemical Company, LLC (TUCC) engaged in activities to evade anti-dumping duties on xanthan gum imported from the People’s Republic of China.

CBP’s investigation revealed substantial evidence of evasion, specifically finding that TUCC imported Chinese-origin xanthan gum transshipped through Turkey and falsely declared it as Turkish-origin to avoid applicable anti-dumping duties. This determination underscores the commitment of U.S. authorities to uphold fair trade practices and protect American businesses from Chinese-produced xanthan gum sold below fair market value.

Key Elements Identified by CBP:

Misrepresentation of Country of Origin: TUCC provided a Chinese country of origin certificate for the xanthan gum it imported from Neu Kimya, despite declaring it as Turkish-origin product;
False Documentation: TUCC acknowledged that all the xanthan gum it imported from Neu Kimya was, in fact, Chinese-origin product. This was supported by the provision of a packing list and commercial invoice indicating the merchandise was first shipped from China to Turkey;
False Certificates of Analysis (COA): Email correspondence between Neu Kimya and TUCC disclosed an offer of either a “transit COA” or a Turkish COA, suggesting awareness of the true origin of the merchandise;
Lack of Production Capacity in Turkey: A finding made by the U.S. International Trade Commission and an affidavit in the allegation confirmed that Turkey does not have any production capacity for xanthan gum, further indicating the false nature of the Turkish-origin claims;
Non-Cooperation with CBP Investigation: Neu Kimya failed to respond to CBP’s request for information, leading to the application of adverse inferences against the company.

As a result of the determination of evasion, CBP will take appropriate actions, including the suspension of liquidation of all entries imported by TUCC that are subject to the investigation and the evaluation of TUCC’s continuous bond.

CP Kelco remains committed to supporting the enforcement of U.S. trade laws and regulations.

Unlock Affordability: 6 Ways to Get More Value Out of Your Formulations

In today’s dynamic market, consumers are looking for more out of their food and beverages. They have an eye on health and wellbeing, sustainability, affordability – and indulgence. In a nutshell, they want it all! How can product developers deliver on these challenging demands and innovate with transparency?

We have developed six strategies to help you unlock added value in your formulations. See how efficient multifunctional, nature-based ingredients can be in solving top challenges without compromising the consumer experience.

1. Reduce sugar (and improve your Nutri-Score)

Between consumer requests, government regulations, taxes, scoring systems and fluctuating sugar prices, there is a rise in demand for products with less sugar.

Product developers know that it can be challenging to reformulate with less sugar and still achieve the pleasurable eating and drinking experience that consumers crave. But healthier indulgence is possible. In fruit-flavored drinks, our GENU^® Pectin is great for adding viscosity and enhancing fruity flavors, and our NUTRAVA^® Citrus Fiber can help compensate for body and mouthfeel that is usually lacking in reduced-sugar content. GENU^® Pectin is also tolerant to calcium and minerals in functional gummies, which helps enable sugar-free formulations with soft and chewy texture, excellent flavor release and heat stability. In reduced sugar beverages, like fruit juices and dairy alternatives, our KELCOGEL^® Gellan Gum can add long-term stability and suspension, and our KELTROL^® Xanthan Gum works well across a wide pH range, both adding full-bodied mouthfeel for a better drinking experience.

Between consumer requests, government regulations, taxes, scoring systems and fluctuating sugar prices, there is a rise in demand for products with less sugar.

2. Cut the fat

For flavor, texture, mouthfeel and moisture control, fat and oils play a critical role in the formulations of baked goods, condiments and beverages. However, health concerns and surging prices have both customers and consumers asking for ways to use less.

NUTRAVA^® Citrus Fiber can help product developers extend or eliminate fats and butter in baked goods, without compromising structure and moisture. Its high water-holding and gelling properties can also support starch replacement in condiments as well as improve texture. In low-fat dairy applications, SIMPLESSE^® Microparticulated Whey Protein Concentrate add creaminess as well as extra protein. SLENDID^® Specialty Pectin, which was developed to be a label-friendly fat reducer, helps to provide creamy texture and mouthfeel to low-fat and non-fat condiments, beverages, dairy products and more.

3. Preserve your fruit supply

Consumers find fruit-flavored drinks to be an enjoyable way to get in an extra serving of fruits, vegetables and immunity-boosting vitamins. However, these beverages are dependent on Mother Nature and crops subject to varying climate conditions and other factors that affect price.

NUTRAVA^® Citrus Fiber can help stretch your fruit supply without compromising the drinking experience. Upcycled from citrus peels, an abundant byproduct of the juice industry, this easily recognizable ingredient offers a full-circle approach to build back mouthfeel so formulators can reduce reliance on citrus pulp and sugar. In addition to being a clean label-friendly solution, NUTRAVA^® Citrus Fiber helps meet market demands while supporting your ingredient reduction and sustainability goals.

4. Let us help you use less egg

There are many reasons why a product developer might want to reduce the use of eggs in formulations. Egg supply and pricing continues to be volatile so saving money and conserving your supply would be prudent. You may also want to reduce potential allergens in your product or explore vegan line extensions.

KELCOGEL^® Gellan Gum stabilizes vegan liquid egg alternatives, balancing mouthfeel and resilience so it is versatile enough to use for breakfast dishes or baking. NUTRAVA^® Citrus Fiber can also help reduce or replace eggs in baked goods and condiments, including in a vegan mayonnaise-like* dressing.

5. Extend what you have

Stretch your supply without compromising on the eating experience. NUTRAVA^® Citrus Fiber can help extend tomato solids up to 25% in tomato sauce, according to our internal lab studies, without experiencing loss of mouthfeel, texture, color or appearance.

6. Clean up your label

If you are looking to reduce the number of ingredients on your product label, we may be able to help. KELCOGEL^® Gellan Gum can help solve multiple beverage challenges, such as suspension and mouthfeel in dairy alternatives. NUTRAVA^® Citrus Fiber can help you reduce or replace starch, sugar, egg, oil and xanthan gum in applications like condiments, dressings and baked goods. Or, if you want to develop vegan recipes, GENU^® Pectin can be an alternative to animal-based gelatin in gummies. It also can replace starch in yogurt alternatives, helping to reduce a step for potential cost savings and allow for one less ingredient on the label.
