Symrise, a global supplier of flavors and functional ingredients, will present its latest innovations at the Carrefour des Fournisseurs de l’Industrie Agroalimentaire (CFIA) trade show in Rennes, France, from March 4 to 6, 2025. Among the featured products is its vegan cheese solution, which aims to provide manufacturers with a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to traditional dairy-based ingredients.
In addition to product innovations that address current market issues such as animal welfare and resource conservation, the focus is on enjoyment. By participating in the trade fair, Symrise wants to strengthen its market presence in France and establish direct contact with customers.
The company’s vegan cheese offering is part of a broader portfolio designed to address industry demands for sustainability and economic efficiency. According to Symrise, the solution allows for a 50% reduction in cheese powder without compromising sensory quality. This aligns with the growing demand for plant-based alternatives that maintain taste and functionality while reducing reliance on animal-derived ingredients.
Showcasing solutions in action
“With our products, we offer our customers an innovative toolbox. It combines sustainability and economic efficiency while preserving natural resources. CFIA offers the ideal platform to showcase our solutions in action,” said Laure Pelletier, Marketing Director Western Europe Food & Beverage at Symrise.
Symrise sees its presence at CFIA as an opportunity to strengthen its market position in France and engage with industry professionals seeking sustainable and cost-efficient ingredient solutions. “Our product innovations fulfill two demands. They respond to current market challenges. Also, they set new standards in taste and versatility,” Pelletier added.
Symrise will conduct live demonstrations to highlight the capabilities of its vegan cheese solution. The company intends to showcase how the formulation can be used in snack applications while maintaining flavor and texture comparable to conventional cheese-based products.
