GNT to highlight EXBERRY® Coloring Foods’ clean-label appeal at Gulfood Manufacturing 2022

October 3, 2022

GNT will demonstrate how its plant-based EXBERRY^® Coloring Foods can be used to create vibrant food and drink with clean labels at Gulfood Manufacturing 2022.

Based on the concept of coloring food with food, EXBERRY^® concentrates are created from non-GMO fruits, vegetables, and plants using traditional physical processing methods. They are fully Halal-certified and qualify for the clean and clear label declarations that modern consumers want to see.

Exhibiting on Booth 641 in Hall 6, GNT will present Gulfood visitors with a selection of eye-catching berlingot candies and other finished products to showcase Coloring Foods’ potential.

Santhosh Thankappan, Sales Director at GNT Group, said: “Visual appeal is crucial to success, but today’s shoppers also want to see natural ingredient lists. EXBERRY^® allows manufacturers to create spectacularly colorful food and drink using plant-based concentrates to ensure maximum consumer acceptance.”

EXBERRY^® Coloring Foods are ideally suited to replacing artificial colorants and can deliver a full spectrum of shades in almost any food and drink application. They are used worldwide in products including confectionery, beverages, snacks, dairy, baked goods, sauces, and plant-based food and drink.

The raw materials used to produce EXBERRY^® Coloring Foods are grown by farmers working as part of GNT’s vertically integrated supply chain. Combined with GNT’s investment in long-term stockholding, this enables the company to offer year-round availability with greater price stability.

Santhosh Thankappan added: “As a family company, GNT is trusted by many of the world’s leading brands to deliver the effective, reliable coloring solutions they need. Our unique vertical integration and stockholding provides specific and tangible advantages, allowing us to deliver quality, authenticity, and availability while protecting against price volatility.”

Gulfood Manufacturing takes place at the Dubai World Trade Center from 8-10 November 2022. For more information, visit: www.gulfoodmanufacturing.com
