Several cultured product makers are stepping outside of their comfort zone to provide a crowd of innovative new offerings that come equipped with zesty flavors and intricate packaging concepts.
HP Hood, ConAgra Foods, Unilever and WhiteWave Foods are among the dairy processors talking about taste in this week's free-standing inserts. The FSIs have a distinctive meal-preparation focus as the holiday season begins.
Notable introductions of new sour cream products come from Kraft Foods Inc., Northfield, Ill., which is extending its Breakstone’s brand with dips and toppings.
It used to be that cultured products were used as components of something larger - cottage cheese for casseroles, sour cream as a condiment or dips for, you guessed it, dipping. Even yogurt adds a creamy value-added touch to pastries and sweet goods.
