WESTCHESTER, Ill., (October 28, 2026) – Ingredion Incorporated (NYSE: INGR), a leading global provider of ingredient solutions, is bringing together its nutrition, texture, sugar reduction and clean label capabilities to help food and beverage brands develop consumer-preferred products and bring them to market faster. At this year’s SupplySide Global, Ingredion will demonstrate how its integrated ingredient solutions and formulation expertise help manufacturers deliver more nutritional benefits without compromising the taste and texture consumers expect.

Consumers want more protein and fiber, less sugar, simpler labels and benefits that support digestive and metabolic health. Interest in nutrient-dense foods, including among consumers using GLP-1 agonists, is adding to that demand. But changes to nutrition can affect the rest of the product. More protein or fiber can change texture and stability, while less sugar can affect sweetness and mouthfeel.

“Our customers are navigating more complex consumer expectations, and that is shaping how we innovate at Ingredion,” said Teresa Kilgore, senior director of marketing in the U.S and Canada at Ingredion. “We’re moving beyond solving for one ingredient or benefit at a time, combining our consumer insights, broad portfolio, and formulation expertise to co-create products with customers that deliver across nutrition, taste and texture. By putting our customers and their consumers at the center of our innovation strategy, we can help brands anticipate what’s next, bring consumer-preferred products to market faster and unlock new opportunities for growth.”

At SupplySide Global 2026, Ingredion will show how manufacturers can address multiple nutrition and formulation needs in a single product, without sacrificing taste or texture. Four prototypes will bring this approach to life across key areas shaping product development, including added protein and fiber sugar reduction, digestive and metabolic health, clean label and nutrient density:

Super Juicy Vibe Reduced Sugar Smoothie: Uses Ingredion’s new FUSERA® clean-label smoothie solution to reduce sugar, improve cost-in-use and accelerate development while maintaining fruit flavor and texture.

Vanilla Prebiotic + Protein Shake: Combines protein, fiber and prebiotics to support digestive health with 0g added sugar and a smooth, creamy texture.

Blueberry Prebiotic Gummy: Pairs reduced sugar* with precision prebiotic fiber, showing how brands can add nutritional benefits to an approachable format while maintaining taste and texture.

Indulgent Chocolate Protein Bite: Delivers protein and fiber in an on-the-go format with 85% less sugar*, demonstrating how indulgence and nutrient density can come together in one product.

Through its integrated ingredient solutions, consumer insights and formulation expertise, Ingredion partners with manufacturers to develop consumer-preferred foods and beverages that deliver nutrition, taste and texture expectations.
