Manufacturers seek new ingredient alternatives to tackle supply challenges

Shortages have begun to take a toll on food and beverage manufacturers worldwide. Between soaring energy prices, war, shipping and inventory disruptions, agriculture woes and extreme weather, the causes are many. Together, they have had a cascading effect on our food system. Sourcing challenges, particularly with starch, have food company executives even wondering which orders will show up at their factories – and which substitute ingredients are available for recipe revamps. 

Reformulation is now the focus for many manufacturers trying to get products to store shelves. But in challenging times such as these, is there a reliable ingredient you can count on as an alternative?
