13 Jun 2019 --- The protein fortification space as a whole continues to enjoy an uplift, but beyond products for sports or athletes, there are growing opportunities for categories such as snacking and on-the-go formats. This is according to KJ Burrington of the US Dairy Export Council (USDEC), who spoke to FoodIngredientsFirst from the IFT Food Expo show floor in New Orleans (June 2-5). The company sought to showcase how US dairy protein can deliver benefits that both food companies and consumers are seeking via two prototypes – Calamansi Protein Gel Snacks and Protein-Powered Curry Hummus.
