Carbery Announces Industry's First Organic Whey

"Ingredients group Carbery today announced that it will begin organic production of whey proteins, making the company one of the first suppliers in the segment to the dairy industry.

According to Carbery, the decision, announced at the opening of the Food Ingredients Europe show, was made because of the small number of organic whey companies in the UK and Europe.

A Carbery spokesperson told DairyReporter.com that the focus, as well as meeting huge growth in demand for organic products, also represents a wider strategy of providing "clear label" goods for processors, looking to avoids additive use.

The market for organic food alone is expected to reach a value of €30bn by the end of 2007, according to figures by industry body organic monitor."
