Dutch Spices announced the fulfillment to produce vegetarian and vegan products. Besides producing allergen safe products, it’s Dutch Spices next step to be the first producer for 100% vegetarian and 100% vegan products.

Meet requirements

All raw materials are judged on the specific requirements. In addition cross-contamination is also investigated and excluded. This means all products from Dutch Spices are suitable for food industries producing products for consumers with a vegetarian and vegan feeding pattern.

Consumer motivation

Initially consumers chose a vegetarian diet because they didn’t want to eat meat anymore. Recently, we see a growing group of consumers choosing vegetarian because of sustainability. Another motive is the improved taste of meat substitutes. For a vegan diet sustainability and health are the main motives.

Motive product developers

Food producers embrace the increasing trend of vegetarian and vegan. Many companies indicate that this trend is an important motive for the development of alternatives like hybrid products.  For the other ingredients that are not allowed in a vegan diet, substitutes are also available.

Some crumbs are available as free from several allergens, like gluten-free crumbs. Dutch Spices succeeded in its ambition to develop a range of tasty crumbs free from 24 allergens (from the LeDa-list). Most people, also with a food allergy, can use/eat this type of crumbs and can enjoy tasty and safe food. This range of crumbs can be used in several applications like the breading of meat. An advantage for partners in the food industry is that they are free from additional allergens in their production facility when using the crumbs from Dutch Spices. The range of crumbs consists of five types to offer variety in taste.
