Better Batters

Advanced Food Systems offers Seal ‘N Crisp FVS T# 38 for vegetable applications and Seal ‘N Crisp FMS for meat, poultry and seafood applications. Both ingredients provide an extra crispy, light texture for ready-to-cook and/or fully-cooked products. They also can be used as tempura-style coating or traditional batter on products where the final coating is a breader or crumb. Another on-trend feature is that the batter can be made with water only or other liquids such as beer. Functionally, these ingredients can serve as both predust and batter, which reduces the number of ingredients. This helps batching, storage/inventory and purchasing. The batters can be mixed in a standard batter mixer and may be applied using a standard overflow batter applicator. The leavening system also does not “gas-off” during extended holding times or production cycles. No MSG or egg allergens.

Batters & Breadings

Newly Weds Foods understands the complexity of formulating customized coating systems, of which batters are an integral part. They are developed to work with other components such as marinades, predusts, seasoning blends and breadings. Like batters, not all commercial breadings perform the same. Each crumb’s taste, texture, appearance and processing characteristics depend on its unique formulation and the way it is baked. Newly Weds Foods’ Coatings Group has the expertise to ensure everything works together for a perfect finished product. A recent addition to the Newly Weds Foods breading portfolio is the Biscuit Crumb.This unique product delivers a tender bite reminiscent of Southern style homemade biscuits. Consumers looking for a new experience will appreciate the warm sense of nostalgia this coating will convey. Perfect for pairing with breakfast inspired flavors like bacon, maple and fruits.

Consider Potatoes

An innovative, cost-effective solution for gluten-free product development, potatoes offer many benefits as a breading, crust or coating. For the standard three-step breading process of flour, egg and breadcrumbs, instead start with potato flour and finish with potato flakes for a delicious, gluten-free alternative.
