Malt Products Corporation (MPC), a manufacturer of malted barley extract and other natural, nutritious sweeteners, has recently experienced a surge in demand for its OatRite™ oat extract as an attractive sweetener for the burgeoning oat milk market.
The spike of inquiries stems from the nationwide boom of oat milk as the fastest-growing milk alternative, combined with increased consumer interest in pantry-friendly food labels featuring non-GMO, plant-based and multi-functional ingredients.
