FI Europe 2025: Lactalis Ingredients unveils high-protein bar

Lactalis Ingredients is inviting producers to visit stand 40F80, where it will unveil its latest innovation alongside its portfolio of premium dairy ingredients.

As a global leader in dairy solutions, Lactalis Ingredients combines a long-standing tradition of excellence with a constant drive for innovation. Our dedication to quality and sustainability is embedded in every product we deliver.

At FIE 2025, the ingredients producer will showcase a comprehensive range of solutions tailored to the evolving needs of the food industry — from functional dairy proteins to high-quality milk powders and whey powders — designed to inspire and support your future developments.

Lactalis Ingredients’ latest innovation: a high-protein bar is specifically designed to meet the evolving demands of sports and wellness nutrition. By replacing traditional caseinates with a unique formulation based on rennet and acid casein, this concept achieves superior performance while enhancing taste and texture.

With 33% protein content and a rich caramel flavour, the bar offers a convenient and nutritious snack that combines indulgence with functionality—making it the ideal choice for active lifestyles and health-conscious consumers.

According to Lactalis Ingredients, the advanced formulation directly translates into tangible benefits for both consumers and manufacturers:

• Softer texture that reduces brittleness, ensuring a more
  enjoyable bite.
• Less bitterness, resulting in a smoother and more balanced
  flavour profile.
• Long-lasting freshness, as the bar resists hardening over time.
• Cost-effectiveness, providing manufacturers with a
  competitive advantage.

Beyond taste and texture, the slow-digesting casein profile ensures a prolonged release of amino acids into the bloodstream. This sustained delivery supports muscle recovery, provides lasting energy, and promotes satiety throughout the day. As a result, the bar offers:

• Craving control: high protein content and satisfying texture help reduce impulsive
  snacking.
• Satiety support: a longer-lasting feeling of fullness keeps consumers satisfied between
  meals.
• Reduced snacking: minimises the temptation to reach for less nutritious alternatives.
• Functional nutrition: Delivers health benefits beyond basic nourishment, supporting active and wellness-oriented lifestyles.

At the core of this protein bar concept is acid and rennet casein, a high-quality ingredient produced by Lactalis Ingredients to meet the specific demands of sports and wellness nutrition. This combination delivers a high protein content and a neutral taste, making it ideal for clean-label formulations.
