Tate & Lyle's Innovations Take Center Stage at IFT FIRST 2025

Tate & Lyle, a prominent global supplier in the food and beverage industry, is set to make a significant impact at the IFT FIRST Conference, scheduled from July 13-16, 2025, in Chicago. Hosting at Booth S600, the company will demonstrate their cutting-edge developments in healthier food solutions, combining their expertise with the pioneering capabilities of CP Kelco, which they acquired last year. This collaboration is expected to enhance their product offerings in critical areas such as sugar reduction, fortification, and mouthfeel.

A New Era in Food Innovation

The event represents a pivotal moment for Tate & Lyle as they embrace the 'power of and' arising from their partnership with CP Kelco. Jessica Wilford, the Vice President of Category Development in the Americas, articulates the sentiment, stating that this year's show signifies a transformative leap in how they can aid their clients with formulation challenges. With a deep technical knowledge base and an expansive ingredient catalog, Tate & Lyle is poised to redefine food experiences.

The firm will debut four exclusive prototypes, designed to exemplify their expansive portfolio and underline their commitment to innovative, consumer-oriented solutions. Here’s a closer look at each:

1. Multi-Layered Mouthfeel Piña Colada Dual Texture Gummy Lollipop
A tropical escape captured in candy form! This unique gummy lollipop features two formats: one with full sugar and another without. Rich in fiber, the candy also showcases two textures: a gelled pectin shell paired with an airy interior, all made possible by GENU® Pectin and GENUTINE® Carrageenan.

2. Next-Gen Naturally Dubai Chocolate Ice Cream Parfait
This dessert marries indulgence with healthy innovation. Crafted for the discerning clean label consumer, this parfait incorporates NUTRAVA® Citrus Fiber into its formulation for a mouthfeel that’s both decadent and guilt-free.

3. Air/Hyper-crunch Dip-n-Crunch Veggie Snackers with Dill Pickle Mousse
A creative take on traditional snacks! This product uses X-PAND-R®, PROMITOR®, KELTROL®, and STAR-DRI® to achieve a delightful mix of crunch and creaminess. The fluffy dill pickle mousse is perfectly complemented by crisp veggie sticks, ensuring a satisfying snack experience.

4. Blissfully-Boosted Tropical Mystic Elixir
An innovative beverage designed for wellness. This drink promises an exciting visual and flavor experience, featuring PROMITOR® Soluble Fiber and KELCOGEL® Gellan Gum for a clean sweetness, aiming to meet both health and enjoyment needs.
