Epogee recently published a white paper offering an exciting solution to the growing obesity epidemic. Titled “Cooking up a fat revolution with EPG,” this new resource discusses consumer dynamics and highlights EPG, an alternative fat technology—labelled as a GMO-free modified plant-based oil—that helps manufacturers dramatically lower calories without compromising the taste, texture or functionality of a wide variety of food and beverage applications.
“Covid-19 has heavily influenced the food industry as consumers demand healthier food and beverage options,” says Sarah Malenich, senior director of marketing at Epogee. “EPG is made from fat so it still functions the same from a taste and texture standpoint. But since it’s not completely absorbed during digestion, it cuts 92 percent of calories for each unit of fat replaced. What this really means is EPG is an absolute game changer for innovating new food and beverage products. Now it is possible for manufacturers to address consumer health concerns such as calorie control and weight management––and help solve the obesity problem.”
