Global Organics recently introduced an organic dairy-free caramel flake that works well in snack and bakery products as a topping to add crunchiness and burnt caramel notes.
“The product is made from only organic burnt sugar; it is classified as caramel 1 (prepared by the controlled heat treatment of carbohydrates with or without alkali or acid; no ammonium or sulfite compounds are added. This is considered the cleaner version of caramel), and complaint with California’s Prop 65 standards. It’s NOP (National Organic Program) and EU (European Union) certifications ensure it meets the highest standards for clean label,” according to Priscila Guerrero, business development specialist, LATAM, Global Organics. The flakes are available in 2- to 5-mm sizes and should be applied at the end of the heating process. The flakes reportedly work best in cereal bars, cookies, chocolate candies, and praline and chocolate bars.
