Future Proof Supply Chain Cocoa Replace

With cocoa prices at all-time highs and availability in flux, manufacturers are left scrambling for solutions that help them stabilize their costs and ingredient supply while continuing to deliver on the taste and texture consumers want. While suppliers have worked to create viable alternatives, many of them fall short due to complex ingredient lists that run counter to the growing desire for clean labels and that complicate reformulations.

To help customers find a workable option, Ardent Mills leaned into our proven expertise in wheat to develop a patent-pending wheat-based solution to cocoa powder – Cocoa Replace. Here, Ardent Mills Chief Growth Officer Angie Goldberg discusses the customer-centered innovation strategies that helped to create Cocoa Replace, as well as the sensory trial results that validated its performance. Single ingredient, easy to integrate, consistent, and proven to maintain taste and texture, Cocoa Replace is the new solution to your cocoa challenges.
