06 Aug 2021 --- Fi Europe (FiE) is calling on the most innovative ingredient suppliers and start-ups to enter its annual Fi Europe Innovation Awards and Startup Innovation Challenge. Last year’s awards highlighted ADM’s pea protein ingredient, ProFam Pea 580, for its clean taste, neutral color, solubility and gelling properties. These attributes help product developers easily incorporate the ingredient into formulations for plant-based applications, Allyson Fish, president of alternative proteins at ADM, tells FoodIngredientsFirst. “With this award recognition, we have been able to further current customer relationships and build new ones to ultimately deliver plant protein-forward foods and beverages to consumers around the world.”
