Puratos will invest $1.6 million to upgrade its production facility in Mississauga, Canada, to support the launch of its new Topfil range of natural fruit fillings.
The Topfil range features an array of fruit fillings for bakery product manufacturers, and Puratos says that this investment will increase production capacity of the new range in order to meet growing demand from manufacturers in the country.
Topfil fillings are free-from high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, artificial flavours and colours, and the company claims that the fillings provide a “wholesome texture, better bake and freeze/thaw stability” than other fruit fillings on the market.
Andrea Rosati, product manager for Puratos Canada said: “We wanted Topfil to bridge the gap between what is available on the market today and what is needed at the bakery and patisserie level.
“Consumers today want the perfect balance of healthiness, naturalness and taste, so our team took that knowledge and ran with it.”
Edouard Pot, general manager of Puratos Canada added: “The Puratos Clean(er) Label is a term we use as we believe that a clean label is an ongoing process.
“Clean label is a moving target as it changes with public opinion and we want to hit that moving target every time.
“Our R&D team is on-site and consistently working to improve our products in order for our customers to meet the criterias of their consumers”
