Bunge Loders Croklaan is launching three new Vream Elite shortenings to build on the existing line of icing, donut, and tortilla shortenings that debuted earlier this year. All three new products deliver tremendous workability across a wide range of temperatures. 

Released in 2018, Superb Select 1020 is a soy based, palm free shortening made without hydrogenated oils which substantially reduces saturated fats compared to most shortenings.  Released by Stratas in 2016 ahead of the FDA mandate to remove partially hydrogenated oils (“PHO’s”), Apex continues to be a key innovation, offering a high stability non-PHO soybean based shortening which dramatically improves the functional range of soy shortenings.

The new flavor options also complement trends that are driving sales in the sweet baked good category. Juicy orange and creamy vanilla are the newest flavor concepts available to help inspire bakers on their development journey.

Olera® Shortenings and Oils, a food division of Global Agri-trade Corporation (GATC), announced its plan to completely convert its full offerings of palm and palm kernel shortenings and oils to 100% Certified Sustainable grade by end of 2017. 

Olera® Shortenings and Oils, the food products division of Global Agri-trade Corporation (GATC), is taking another major step in its commitment to be a competitive supplier of 100% RSPO certified sustainable palm oil (CSPO) products in North America.

PhytoBake is a trans-free, reduced saturated fat shortening that—in certain applications—can extend the freshness of finished food products through better moisture retention.

As the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announces its preliminary determination that partially hydrogenated oils are not “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS), global oils leader IOI Loders Croklaan is inviting food manufacturers to its Creative Studio to reformulate applications with its existing suite of readily available trans-fat-free solutions.
