EHL Ingredients launches two new organic stuffing blends

From:FoodBev

EHL Ingredients has announced two new organic stuffing mixes, bringing alternative tastes and textures to traditional stuffing ingredient blends ahead of Organic September.

The first is a Middle Eastern-style organic sultana, lemon and spice stuffing – a mix of juicy sultanas, breadcrumbs, a burst of citrus lemon with aromatic fennel, coriander, ginger and black pepper.

With a distinctive Mediterranean flavour, the second addition is an organic garlic, tomato and herb stuffing, which combines organic breadcrumbs, garlic, tomato, spices, fennel, cumin, black pepper, parsley and oregano.

Food manufacturers can include the blends in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean ready meals and accompaniments to spice up pork, lamb, chicken or turkey dishes, EHL Ingredients said, as well as meat-free foods.

The Greater Manchester-based company cited statistics from The Soil Association, which showed that UK sales of organic products increased by 4.9% last year and shoppers spent an extra £1.73 million a week on organic produce. The research also revealed that shoppers are becoming increasingly health-conscious, causing the net worth of the UK organic market to rocket to almost £2 billion, ahead of Organic September.

Christine Peers, sales director for EHL Ingredients, said: “Our development team is constantly working on new blends and seasonings, especially within organic, so we’re delighted to launch these two new stuffing mixes to strengthen our offering.

“We launched our first range of organic blends last year, and since then we’ve had an influx of requests for new international blends and stuffing mixes. Shoppers are increasingly looking for integrity in their food purchases and with the organic market continuing to grow, as is demand for our organic blends and mixes, we plan to continue expanding our range to provide quality, organic ingredients and blends for food manufacturers to add to international dishes.

“This is not just great news for us, but offers a really positive outlook for the organic food market as a whole. We’re delighted with the response to our organic range from customers and we put our success in the organic arena down to several key factors – health benefits, an increase in consumer awareness, education on organic foods and healthier eating, and the consistent high quality of our products.

“With The Soil Association predicting more opportunities for future growth, and as the UK organic market hits £1.95 billion, we look forward to strengthening our position in this burgeoning marketplace and are aiming to see a further increase in sales of our organic ingredients during Organic September and the remainder of 2016.”

“It’s important for food manufacturers to stay one step ahead of market trends and create popular organic products that will perform well within this burgeoning market and that consumers will love.”
