With expertise in food design and technical excellence, MasterSense is uniquely positioned to deliver Arla Foods Ingredients’ advanced nutrition solutions in Chile.
A recent Arla Foods Ingredients survey of 1000 Chilean consumers found that great taste, convenience, naturalness and high-protein content were their most important considerations when purchasing food. One in four considered “whey protein” a very attractive claim. When asked which products they would like to contain more protein, Chilean consumers cited yogurts, dairy beverages, bread and juice as their top choices.1
