Health & Well-Being

We increase the quantity of grains & seeds in our products. Additionally, we promote the use of wholegrain versions to stimulate the consumption of bakery products containing high levels of grains, wholegrains and seeds. This helps consumers around the world to reach their recommended daily intake of fiber.

Puratos helps to lower sugar consumption through its complete range of sugar reduced patisserie & chocolate products. Additionally, we rework existing recipes with the aim to reduce sugar content. Any sugar removal, reduction and/or replacement action should not compromise neither products taste, nor texture.

We increase, whenever possible, the fruit content in the fillings or the fruit filling content in the final application.

We aim to remove or reduce fats, especially of low nutritional quality, or to replace them with fats of good nutritional quality. We also focus on removing trans fatty acids and replacing them with healthier fat sources.

We offer solutions to reduce the quantity of salt in baked goods to help consumers abide to the 5g of salt/day as part of the World Health Organization recommendation.

More and more consumers want to reduce ingredients perceived as undesired such as additives, artificial colours and flavours. Puratos offers clean and cleaner label alternatives allowing for a shorter, clearer and cleaner ingredient list of the finished products.

Whenever requested, we contribute to a better planet by offering plant-based alternatives with taste, texture and functionality as close as possible to the traditional counterpart.

The link between gut health and overall health is well established in the mind of consumers: a healthy gut positively influences both physical & mental health. The bakery products in Puratos’ Happy Gut range all contain gut health promoting compounds, such as specific types of fibres, which can support consumers’ gut health status.

To answer the increasing demand for more natural products, Puratos provides, whenever possible, an organic alternative without compromising on taste, texture and overall functionality.
