20 Feb 2020 --- French dairy ingredients supplier Epi Ingredients was presenting several innovative solutions at Fi Europe 2019, in Paris, France. “With fermented foods as one of 2019’s top trends, we focused our efforts on expanding our fermented ingredients offerings. However, we know that nutrition and healthy options are also an essential aspect of consumers’ purchasing decisions. Recognizing this, we have developed a new nutrition-oriented concept specifically designed as a satisfying, tasty alternative that also addresses nutritional aspects,” says Mathieu Lucot, Marketing Manager at Epi Ingredients.
16 Nov 2018 --- At this years’ SIAL trade show in Paris, Epi & Co presented their plant-based concepts which are making waves across France. As the demand for plant-based core meal solutions heats up across Europe, Epi & Co, part of the French cooperative group, Tereos, is offering new wheat and chickpea based gourmet specialties made from ingredients that have been sourced locally in France and Germany. Speaking to FoodIngredientsFirst, David Cygler noted that while the company started at the end of 2015, the whole range only came into existence a few months ago. “The idea behind our products was to use wheat and chickpea ingredients to develop meat alternatives, for the growing population of flexitarians in Europe. The range is vegan-friendly, kosher and halal as well,” he says.
22 Dec 2017 --- The big innovation for EPI Laita at FiE 2017 was SoFlexi, a powder mix concept to showcase one of the company’s main ingredients, its yogurt powder with live bacteria. “With this mix of powder, you can make different beverages: a yogurt drink when you mix with water, an acid dairy drink when you mix with water and juice, and a milkshake,” says Mathieu Lucot. The product is very convenient and flexible, hence the name, and the company is proud to showcase its benefits.
