Companies likeStevens Group can ensure ingredients arenot only measured properly in terms ofweight, but also formulation too. Whenmanufacturers try to find replacementingredients or alternatives to sugar or fats, itis important accuracy is considered. Food manufacturers and bakers nowfeeling a prick of conscience following UKAction on Sugars recent call to cut sugarintake, for example are turning toCalifornia’s plump prunes. The fruit has now been proven to providea healthy and natural replacement for someof the processed sugars in snacks. In recenttesting by the California Prune Board, thesugar content of seven recipes was reducedand replaced with prune puree, withsignificant results. Chocolate and PruneFudge Cake, Orange and prune nut breadand California cheesecake recipes producedsugar reductions between 27% and 35%,with no compromise on texture and flavour.Substituting some of the sugar for prunepuree, which is simply blended prunes, canbe applied to a wide range of recipes – toreduce the sugar content. Tate & Lyle Sugars have also recentlylaunched wet fondants into the Europeanmarket, which has seen bakery snackmanufacturers having even more optionswhen it comes to fillings that are costeffective, meaning ingredients that were onceperhaps too expensive now being affordableand of a significantly higher quality.For those who suffer from foodintolerances or are embarking on vegan orvegetarian diet, there’s a host of interestingnew launches happening too, often withpreservative and sugar-free recipes to ensurethey are truly healthy, rather than paying lipservice to a healthy reputation.The same can be said for sandwiches,with a lot more manufacturers aware thatthe free-from and healthy market isbooming among health-savvy consumers.Healthier recipes for bread in particular areseeing improvements in this respect, as arehealthier fillings. The challenge is to remaintasty enough for consumers to want to makea permanent switch.Convenience is indeed becoming king,the key obstacles to success seem to bestaying ahead of the innovative competition.The way round this is investment in newproducts, of which we are seeing many.

One example of their recipe formulation expertise in thesandwiches and snack sector comes from their work with Chatwins,the specialists in sandwiches, pastries, cakes and desserts.
