23 Apr 2020 --- Taste and nutrition giant Kerry has expanded its food protection capabilities through the acquisition of IsoAge Technologies, specialists in natural and sustainable food safety solutions, and Biosecur Lab Inc., which offers natural antimicrobials made from citrus extracts. Through these new investments, Kerry will have the “broadest food protection portfolio in the industry.” The deal bolsters its position in the clean label space and enhances Kerry’s capacity to serve the rapidly growing market of shelf life solutions centered on naturalness and nutrition. It comes as consumers’ rejection of artificial ingredients becomes even more pronounced following the outbreak of COVID-19.
