The quest for more potent operating systems is leading to design enhancements.

Consumer demand for healthier beverages is not going away. Gut tolerability, the usage of prebiotic fibers and reduced-sugar options are expanding the usage of sweetener solutions that will reduce calories in yogurts, for example, while providing functional benefits.

DFA continued to expand its commercial investments in 2022. The Cooperative acquired two extended shelf-life (ESL) beverage processing facilities, located in Richmond, Ind., and Pacific, Mo., from SmithFoods.

First District Association accelerates cheese production with world’s longest, three-story cheese belt. The new cheese plant and barrel packaging room has the capacity to fill a 500-pound barrel of cheese in 43 seconds.

Ingredients, flavors, colors and toppings give consumers something to “scream about.” Not only will the ice cream category grow 37% over 2021, but consumers are loving the five most popular flavors:  Chocolate, Cookies ‘N Cream, Vanilla, Strawberry and Chocolate Chip.

The expansion includes dairy-free yogurt alternatives, non-dairy cheese alternatives and non-dairy frozen desserts to support a balanced, plant-forward diet at an accessible price, the company stated.

With the increased footprint, FlavorSum will build out more technical resources and capacity to meet the needs of small, mid-sized and emerging food and beverage companies, the company states.
