Just as Formula 1 teams rely on innovation, speed and collaboration, Puratos has engineered its IBIE presence as a high-octane “pit crew” for bakers. Because in the race to market, having the right crew matters.

IBIE attendees are invited to visit Kemin Food Technologies – North America at Booth #5827 to learn more about its ingredient innovation, SHIELD Pure — a new cultured dextrose solution that provides a one-to-one clean label replacement for synthetic mold inhibitors like calcium propionate.

EXBERRY colors are created from non-GMO fruits, vegetables, and plants. They can be used to achieve a vast array of bold shades, creating opportunities across cakes, breads, cookies, snacks, decorations, fillings, and coatings.

Made with just a few simple, high-quality ingredients, including cage-free eggs, lemon juice, sea salt and Fresh Vintage Farms’ signature Pure Cold-Pressed Almond Oil. 

Both flavors combine fruit-driven sweetness with chili heat, aligning with the growing “swicy” (sweet + spicy) trend gaining traction in packaged foods and foodservice.

By moving further into value-added products, Richardson positions itself to integrate grain supply with branded and foodservice pasta, an area where innovation around formulations, fortification, and clean-label ingredients continues to grow.

Available in a 5.8oz pack, each pack is a remix of five bold Skittles flavors—Mango, Watermelon, Strawberry, Raspberry, and Lemon—now coated in a tangy chili layer that adds a spicy twist.

Each product delivers 20% of the recommended daily value of protein per serving, positioning the line as an “excellent source” of complete protein containing all essential amino acids.
