Coatings

Coatings

These are unprecedented times in the cocoa market. Unforeseen low crop yields and export challenges have resulted in an overall global cocoa bean deficit. The high price of cocoa has a direct impact on the price of products like chocolate, which will ultimately have to be passed on to the chocolate-loving consumer.

Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be that way. Some reformulation work to switch from chocolate to coatings can deliver great gains. Furthermore, tapping into Cargill’s unparalleled portfolio and eight decades of expertise in coatings will allow cost-conscious consumers to continue to indulge, but without having to impact their weekly budget.

Our “cost-effective delights” range of coatings (part of our broad portfolio offering) has been shown to compete with traditional chocolate from both a labeling and a sensory perspective. It’s backed up by a new labeling study* which found no significant difference between a well marketed coated biscuit product using a coating and another made with traditional chocolate. At the same time, new research** on a sponge cake application shows that 90% of consumers are looking for the sensorial characteristics provided by a coating.
