• Natural: Verdad® translates to truth. Literally. And our products are just that – truly clean label and innovative products formulated just for meat snacks.
• Easy to Implement: We know that changing formulas can be difficult, but it doesn’t have to be. It’s easy to add or replace existing products, ensuring confidence from production to pantry.
• Yield Enhancer: It is clear that meat snacks manufacturers want better yield – our Verdad® N20 can help increase finished product yield by up to 3%. Better yield = less waste and more meats snacks to go around.
• Increased Shelf Life & Improved Safety: Verdad® XM10 & Verdad® N30 offer a shelf life of up to 3 weeks, versus the average meat snack shelf life of 1 week, while enhancing texture and moisture. With consumers taking less trips to the store, Verdad® opens the door for larger pack sizes, protecting the meat snack qualities consumers demand and in addition to keeping the snacks free from mold, yeast and bacteria.
• Low Flavor Impact: Our offerings have less of an impact on flavor while other competitive products impact flavor.
