Soups

Demand for soups exhibits a stable growth with a 3.82% CAGR in 2021-2024. Some markets are restricting the use of additives such as MSG in various food applications. As a result, producers are seeking alternative ways to achieve the desired flavour profiles.

Lactosan’s Cheese Powder is the ideal ingredient for developing the perfect taste and texture in soups. It enables cleaner labelling by replacing MSG and ensures more consistent quality compared to fresh cheese.
