Cereal fortification
Fortification adds real nutritional value to your product. We make sure the right amount of vitamins and minerals is in every portion, right up to the end of shelf life, with the precision we have built up over more than 30 years in humanitarian nutrition and in products for retailers and brands.
What it is
Nutrition built into the product, not sprinkled on top
Fortification means adding micronutrients, vitamins and minerals, to a cereal base. We do it in-house, as part of the same production chain that selects the raw materials and processes the grain.
That matters more than it sounds. Because we control the steps before and after, we know what the process does to each nutrient and take it into account in the formulation.
What we bring
Why our customers let us handle it
Successful fortification comes down to three things: dosing accuracy, shelf life impact and taste impact. That is where our expertise makes the difference.
Dosing accuracy
Micronutrients are dosed with a high degree of accuracy, verified in our own laboratory and benchmarked against an accredited lab.
Micronutrient partnerships
We work directly with specialized micronutrient suppliers, so we can go beyond a standard premix whenever your nutritional profile calls for it.
Proven at the strictest level
We fortify for UN nutrition programs and we are an approved baby food producer: two of the most demanding contexts for this work.
Full chain control
Raw material selection, processing, fortification and packaging happen on one site, so everything stays under one roof and one standard.
Applications
Where fortification earns its place
Private label breakfast and porridge
A nutritional claim on the pack gives your private label a real advantage on the shelf. We help you formulate for the claim you want to carry.
Infant and toddler cereals
The category with the strictest legal limits and the least tolerance for deviation, in both directions. As an approved baby food producer, we work to these standards every day.
Meal replacers and nutrition-driven products
Products where the nutritional profile is the product. Complete formulations with a defined energy, protein and micronutrient content, built from your specification.
Quality control
Checked on the way in and on the way out
We produce under FSSC 22000 and are an approved baby food producer. Every premix delivery is tested on all active ingredients before it enters our site and stored in a specially conditioned warehouse, and the finished product is verified in our own laboratory. Every batch can be released with the documentation
