Developing products for the healthy food market has become so much more than adjusting fat or sugar levels. The rising demand for high protein, high fiber, plant-based, egg-free, or gluten-free baked goods is causing bakers to rethink whole formulas and find new functional, nutritional ingredients.
A Master Baker and innovative developer, Chadwick White is no stranger to this space. Initially an artisan bread baker and pastry chef, he began developing gluten-free products at the very start of the trend. In 2008, Chadwick partnered with Udi and Etail Baron to develop Udi’s Healthy Foods and successfully built Udi’s Gluten-Free.
Going on to help brands improve their gluten-free products, his latest venture is Nepra Foods—a transformative company founded in allergen-free and plant-based food and ingredient solutions.
