The Newsroom Emsland Group has announced a significant technical breakthrough in the plant-based confectionery sector, introducing Emjel® LC 15 . The new-generation functional starch is designed to bridge the processing gap between traditional gelatin and starch systems, enabling manufacturers to produce vegan jellies using atmospheric cooking methods. The launch addresses a long-standing manufacturing hurdle: while gelatin processes efficiently under atmospheric conditions, conventional starches typically require high temperatures and complex pressure or vacuum cooking systems to achieve full gelatinisation. Emjel® LC 15 eliminates this requirement, offering the processing ease of gelatin in a fully plant-based solution. Operational Innovation: Atmospheric Processing By allowing for atmospheric cooking, Emjel® LC 15 simplifies the production line for plant-based gummies and jellies. This innovation means manufacturers can produce high-quality vegan confectionery without investing in or utilising pressure or vacuum cooking infrastructure. This gentler processing method offers corollary benefits for formulation: Ingredient Protection: Lower processing temperatures help preserve sensitive ingredients such as natural flavours, colours, and vitamins. Energy Efficiency: The reduction in required heat load translates to lower energy consumption and operational costs. Sensory Profile and Thermostability Beyond processing, the ingredient is engineered to replicate the sensory attributes consumers expect from premium confectionery. Emsland Group claims the starch delivers a "smooth, elastic texture and clear appearance" comparable to gelatin-based products. Crucially, the product offers superior performance in supply chain resilience. Unlike gelatin, which can soften or melt in high heat, Emjel® LC 15 provides improved thermostability , maintaining structural integrity even at elevated temperatures—a critical factor for export markets and warm climates. Key Benefits for Producers: 🌡️ Atmospheric Cooking: Eliminates the need for pressure/vacuum systems; suitable for starch-less moulding. 🍬 Gelatin-Like Quality: Delivers high clarity and elastic texture. ☀️ Heat Resistance: Superior thermostability compared to gelatin formulations. 🌍 Market Expansion: Opens access to Vegan, Halal, and Kosher demographics. Commercial Debut Emsland Group has confirmed that its application experts will present the concept live at the ISM Ingredients exhibition in Cologne, Germany. The showcase is scheduled for 1-4 February 2026 (Hall 10.1, Booth # H-031 / J-030).The new-generation functional starch is designed to bridge the processing gap between traditional gelatin and starch systems, enabling manufacturers to produce vegan jellies using atmospheric cooking methods.

Coca-Cola Europacific Partners has launched Powerade FIFA Playstyles, a limited-edition sports drink range, Powerade FIFA Playstyles flavours Attack and Defend comments debug Exchange Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment. The Newsroom Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) has expanded its functional sports drink portfolio with the launch of a new limited-edition range, Powerade FIFA Playstyles. The launch is timed to help retailers leverage consumer interest ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026. The new range is rolling out nationwide in 500ml bottles, aligning with a period of high volume sales in the sports and hydration category. The launch comes during a period of strong performance for the brand. Powerade currently holds the position of the number two sports drink brand in Great Britain, with value sales increasing by 25.9% year-on-year. By introducing targeted product innovation, CCEP aims to encourage trading up within the functional hydration category, driving incremental value for convenience retailers and supermarkets during peak summer trading. Flavour Profiles and Formulations The Powerade FIFA Playstyles range is inspired by tactical roles on the football pitch, offering distinct taste profiles designed to appeal to younger shoppers. The two new variants include: 🌶️ Attack – A spicy citrus variant designed with a mild kick. 🌸 Defend – A refreshing floral citrus option. Both options feature an isotonic balance of sugar and sodium to support hydration during exercise, alongside added vitamin B5 to support mental focus. Retail Support and On-Pack Promotion To drive the rate of sales and encourage repeat purchases, CCEP is supporting the launch with a nationwide on-pack promotion. Running from 11 May to 5 July across Powerade Mango, Berry, and the new FIFA Playstyles bottles, the promotion allows shoppers to scan QR codes on-pack for a chance to win instant prizes. Available rewards include branded footballs, drawstring bags, and Powerade sipper bottles. The product rollout and promotion are integrated with Powerade’s largest-ever global campaign, "Power Your Fate", as the Official Sports Drink of the FIFA World Cup 2026. Engaging Younger Demographics Football remains a powerful cultural touchpoint in the UK, reaching approximately 80% of the population and serving as the primary passion point for Gen Z consumers. Historically, major international tournaments have driven significant volume growth in the soft drinks sector, particularly through match-day social gatherings and top-up shopping trips. Because sports drinks represent a leading impulse purchase within the broader soft drinks category, CCEP expects the combination of thematic branding, flavour innovation, and high-profile marketing to stimulate valuable in-store engagement throughout the summer.

Olio Piro has secured USDA Organic certification, validating its rigorous, synthetic-free cultivation process and reinforcing its position in the premium comments debug Exchange Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment. The Newsroom Olio Piro, the award-winning Tuscan producer of premium extra virgin olive oils (EVOO), has announced that its portfolio has officially achieved USDA Organic certification. The accreditation represents a significant commercial milestone for the brand in the United States, providing independent verification of the rigorous, synthetic-free agricultural practices that have defined its production since its US launch in 2020. The move comes as the premium olive oil sector faces intense scrutiny regarding supply chain transparency, adulteration, and ingredient provenance. By securing one of the most recognised standards for agricultural integrity, Olio Piro is fortifying its position in the high-growth "clean-label" and functional food categories. Rather than altering its existing production methods to meet the standard, Olio Piro views the USDA Organic certification as a formal recognition of its long-standing operational philosophy. The brand’s olives are cultivated on the volcanic slopes of Monte Amiata in Tuscany, a terroir that contributes significantly to the final product's sensory and nutritional profile. Marie-Charlotte Piro, Founder and CEO, stated that the organic certification formalises a level of discipline that has always been central to the brand. Piro emphasised that every decision, from cultivation to processing, is dictated by a singular focus on the quality and integrity of the final result. Technical Milling and Polyphenol Preservation A key differentiator for Olio Piro in the B2B and premium retail sectors is its technical approach to milling, which balances traditional harvesting with advanced mechanical processing. Key Processing Attributes Include: Early Harvest Sourcing: Utilising olives harvested early in the season to maximise the retention of natural antioxidants and polyphenols, resulting in an assertive, grassy profile with a characteristic peppery finish. Proprietary Double Filtration: The oil is processed using a unique milling system developed in direct collaboration with the Italian Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (National Research Council). This technology enhances the purity, stability, and shelf-life performance of the EVOO. Synthetic-Free Supply Chain: The USDA certification guarantees that no synthetic inputs are used during cultivation or extraction, providing a fully traceable, clean-label product for retail buyers and foodservice operators.

Gorgie has expanded its functional beverage portfolio with the launch of Rocket Pop Protein, a sugar-free energy drink delivering 8g of whey protein. comments debug Exchange Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment. The Newsroom Active nutrition and wellness brand Gorgie has announced the launch of its newest product formulation, Rocket Pop Protein, expanding its hybrid protein-energy drink portfolio ahead of the summer trading window. The product rollout represents a significant brand extension that introduces a nostalgic, summer-themed flavour profile to the company's established functional line-up. The beverage is entering retail distribution immediately, with physical shelf placement systematically scaling across national supermarkets and digital storefronts. The launch highlights an ongoing transition in the functional beverage and active nutrition sectors, where manufacturers are increasingly developing multi-benefit products that combine sports nutrition metrics with everyday energy ingredients. Hybrid Formulations The development of the Gorgie protein-energy range was directly informed by changing consumer purchasing patterns, as wellness-focused demographics look for consolidated, multi-occasion drinks to support active routines and midday recovery. While standard energy drinks rely heavily on high-dose synthetic stimulants and carbonated sugar bases, the Gorgie range is formulated with clean-label, functional ingredients. Each 12-ounce (approximately 354ml) can delivers 8 grams of complete protein derived from premium whey protein isolate. The technical development of the range required balancing the clean taste profile of the natural fruit flavours with the delicate texture of the whey protein. The formulation details include: Natural Stimulant Base – Each can contains 150 milligrams of caffeine sourced from green tea to provide a smooth, sustained energy boost. Cognitive and Metabolic Fortification – Infused with L-theanine to support focus, alongside biotin and vitamins B6 and B12 for everyday wellness. Sugar and Sweetener Control – Formulated with zero sugar and contains no artificial sweeteners, including aspartame, sucralose, or erythritol. The addition of the new variant expands Gorgie's protein-energy drink lineup, which focuses on delivering bold, dessert-inspired profiles: 🍒 Rocket Pop Protein – A summer-themed blend featuring a mix of cherry, citrus, and berry notes to mimic the profile of a classic red, white, and blue ice lolly. 🍓 Strawberry Pop – A bright, sweet, and classic strawberry-flavoured formulation. 🍍 Power Punch – A tropical, fruit-forward option blending pineapple and raspberry flavours. Retail According to Michelle Cordeiro Grant, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Gorgie, the brand’s product pipeline remains heavily focused on combining clean-label functionality with consumer demand for nostalgic flavours. She noted that the new summer launch was developed to engage the brand’s highly active community, translating historical summer memories into a modern, health-conscious format. To support the commercial launch, the company is utilising a dual-track distribution model that merges direct-to-consumer (DTC) digital app engagement with physical mass-market retail. Prior to entering national retail channels, Gorgie executed an exclusive, early access "First Sips" campaign via its proprietary digital app, Club G. The app-based rollout allowed the brand to capture immediate consumer sentiment, generate organic digital interest, and secure first-party purchasing data before scaling the product. Following the digital campaign, Rocket Pop Protein is entering physical retail distribution nationwide: Target Corporation – Securing immediate shelf-space density across the retailer's national estate, where Gorgie currently ranks as a top-selling brand in its category. Digital E-Commerce – Immediate availability for multi-pack orders and digital subscription delivery via the brand's primary website. Founded in 2022, the female-led beverage startup has recorded rapid volume and value growth since launching its first sparkling energy lines in 2023. By leveraging its established national supply chain and direct retail partnerships, the brand continues to scale its presence, helping grocery partners drive average basket values in the competitive functional beverage department.

The brand announced strong sell-through metrics following the introduction of two retailer-exclusive flavours across 460 Sprouts locations, pushing its overall volume to more than 400,000 bags sold per month. comments debug Exchange Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment. The Newsroom Ancient Crunch , the parent company of premium snack brands MASA and Vandy , has reported surging retail performance following a strategic rollout at Sprouts Farmers Market . The company’s rapid growth highlights the increasing commercial viability of the "seed oil-free" snacking segment, a trend rapidly migrating from ultra-premium natural channels to national grocers. The brand announced strong sell-through metrics following the introduction of two retailer-exclusive flavours across 460 Sprouts locations, pushing its overall volume to more than 400,000 bags sold per month . Sprouts Retailer Exclusives To drive footfall and differentiate the Sprouts snack aisle, Ancient Crunch developed two channel-specific SKUs that cater to complex, culinary-inspired flavour profiles: MASA Hatch Chile: A smoky, spicy nod to the Southwest, available exclusively under the MASA tortilla chip banner. Vandy French Onion: A savoury potato chip flavour engineered to deliver the "sophisticated depth of an Alpine onion soup," launched under the Vandy brand. Utilising retailer exclusives is an increasingly popular tactic for emerging CPG brands to secure premium shelf placement and build collaborative, high-value relationships with national buyers. Market Penetration and Velocity The success at Sprouts mirrors the brand's established dominance in the ultra-premium tier. At Erewhon , the Los Angeles-based luxury grocer often viewed as an incubator for functional food trends, MASA currently holds four of the top-performing spots in the entire Chips & Salty Snacks category. This velocity validates Ancient Crunch's core formulation thesis: consumers are willing to pay a premium for snacks manufactured using traditional cooking methods and fats, strictly avoiding industrial seed oils, fillers, and artificial ingredients. Breaking the Binary Seth Goldstein , co-founder of Ancient Crunch, framed the Sprouts expansion as a tipping point for clean-label snacking. "Sprouts has become a proving ground for what happens when shoppers are offered real food made the right way," Goldstein stated. "Consumers are no longer choosing between 'healthy' and 'great tasting' — MASA breaks that binary. This launch shows just how hungry people are for snacks made from simple, nutrient-dense ingredients and zero seed oils." Distribution Outlook for 2026 The Sprouts rollout pushes Ancient Crunch's physical retail footprint past the 1,500-door milestone . The current distribution network spans a mix of national natural grocers and high-end regional players, including Bristol Farms, Citarella, Happier Grocery, SunLife Organics, and Pavilions. Looking ahead, the company confirmed that additional national retail partnerships are already slated for early 2026, positioning the "no seed oil" platform for mainstream grocery penetration.

This multi-channel initiative includes an on-pack promotion utilising a scannable QR code that offers shoppers the opportunity to win digital prizes.

Origin Coffee has launched a plant-based Cold Foam Summer menu, utilising its new Cold Brew Espresso Concentrate comments debug Exchange Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment. The Newsroom Origin Coffee has officially launched its new "Cold Foam Summer Drinks" menu across its entire retail estate. The seasonal rollout represents a strategic shift in the brand's iced beverage architecture, moving away from traditional, heavy iced lattes in favour of lighter, plant-based foams and precision-brewed concentrates. The new menu is explicitly designed to showcase the operational versatility of Origin's recently launched Cold Brew Espresso Concentrate, offering both a consumer-facing refreshment option and a B2B proof-of-concept for its application in high-velocity hospitality settings. Concentrate Integration The cornerstone of the new summer menu is the Cold Brew Espresso Concentrate. By building the beverage programme around a pre-batched, espresso-strength liquid, Origin can significantly reduce ticket times and barista friction during peak summer trading hours. This operational streamlining is crucial for maintaining high throughput without compromising the speciality coffee experience. Furthermore, the decision to pair the concentrate exclusively with plant-based, aerated cold foams aligns with the growing consumer demand for dairy-free indulgence that feels lighter and more refreshing during warmer months. Sensory Profiles and Beverage Architecture The summer 2026 lineup features a trio of drinks that blend familiar speciality coffee aesthetics with playful, high-acid flavour combinations designed to drive impulse purchases. The Cold Foam Menu Includes Burnt Lemon Cold Brew Tonic: A bright, bittersweet build mixing cold brew coffee with burnt lemon soda and tonic, finished with a signature cold brew cold foam. Cold Brew & Lime Soda: A zesty, clean-finished beverage that layers lime soda with a dual-foam topping of coconut and cold brew cold foams. Coconut & Matcha Targeting the non-coffee demographic, this variant layers a smooth, gently sweet matcha cold foam over ice-cold coconut water for a highly visual, delicately balanced serve. Cold Foam Innovation The widespread adoption of cold foam has been one of the defining trends in the global coffee sector over the past three years. However, Origin's approach, combining it with proprietary cold brew concentrates, bespoke botanical sodas, and plant-based formulations, elevates the concept into the premium independent tier.
