At this year’s Food Ingredients Europe, Nexira, a global leader in natural ingredients, will spotlight its comprehensive portfolio designed to empower the next generation of functional and plant-based beverages, aligning with fast-evolving consumer expectations for positive nutrition, gut health, and sensory satisfaction.
With functional beverage launches surging by 18 per cent in the past year, and consumer demand growing for health-forward, clean-label ingredients, Nexira brings targeted solutions for formulators eager to capitalize on this vibrant space. From precision prebiotics to botanical extracts and natural texturizers, Nexira’s booth will be a destination for inspiration, innovation and delightful tasting sessions.
“Consumers are taking greater ownership of their health, and beverages are becoming a key vehicle for delivering that nutrition in enjoyable, personalized and convenient formats,” says Charlotte Wallart, Nexira’s Food Product Manager. “At FIE, we’re excited to share our latest insights and formulations that bridge science, nature, and consumer trends. Our visitors will be welcomed with three tasty drink options: a refreshing prebiotic water, a morning boost latte and a sunrise mocktail”.
