Today, gluten-free bread is expected to look, feel and taste just like its conventional counterpart, while effectively and safely responding to consumer needs linked to food intolerances or lifestyle choices. Consumers who choose gluten-free products no longer accept compromises on taste, texture, nutritional profiles or ingredient lists.
Thanks to HIFOOD’s long-lasting experience in the gluten-free sector – developed since it was founded in 2012 and further expanded when it became part of CSM Ingredients group in 2022 – today CSM Ingredients offers a vast range of solutions to elevate gluten-free ranges.
