Freeze-Thaw Stable Fillings

Our savoury fillings are engineered to perform under pressure. From production line to consumer plate, they hold their structure, lock in flavour, and guarantee results that bakers and brands can rely on.

• Performance holds structure through freezing, thawing, baking, and serving.

• Clean Cutting fillings hold their shape, preventing mess during slicing and serving.

• Bake Stability withstands oven conditions without leaking or collapsing.

• Balanced Flavour consistent seasoning and taste across batches for consumer trust.

With proven freeze–thaw stability and consistent performance, our savoury fillings give manufacturers the reliability they need and consumers the quality they expect – every time.

Uniform Viscosity

The right viscosity is the key to great gravy. Our solutions deliver a smooth, stable consistency that flows perfectly, coats evenly, and enhances both flavour and presentation.

• Bostwick Consistometer measures how far a set volume of gravy flows in a channel within a fixed time

• Process control fillings perform consistently in production

• Texture optimisation direct link between viscosity and final product bite, spread, and mouthfeel.

We ensure every batch delivers the control, consistency, and quality needed for perfect gravy performance.

By combining viscosity testing with process control and texture optimisation, we ensure every gravy delivers flawless performance from production to plate.

Ultra Processed Food (UPF) Solutions

We provide clean label solutions that deliver the same performance as traditional additives – without the need for modified starches, artificial colours, or complex E-numbers. The result is products that are not only reliable in production but also reassuring on the label.

How Foodmaker Helps:

• Clean Label Starches deliver the same functionality as modified starches, but derived from natural processes and labelled more transparently

• Colour from Nature replace artificial colouring with vegetable, spice, or fruit concentrates for fresher, more appealing products

• Allergen Reduction smart formulation helps reduce or remove allergens linked to traditional additives

• Consumer-Friendly Labels – Shorter, simpler ingredient lists that reassure both retailers and shoppers.
