In response to this, BENEO featured several new healthy snack concepts at SupplySide West last week.
The company featured iced coffee sweetened with PalatinoseTM, a wholegrain and high-fiber cracker that contains BENEO’s prebiotic fiber inulin, and Hazelnuts coated with non-cariogenic milk chocolate. These functional ingredients support recommended fiber consumption, digestive and dental health, weight management and low glycemic solutions via nutritionally balanced snacks.
“The demand for healthy snacks continues to grow as consumers take the initiative to make good-for-you choices with their diet," said Joseph O’Neill, president BENEO Inc. "BENEO supports this movement by offering manufacturers a wide variety of functional ingredients that improve not only the nutritional profile of their products but also the taste."
