INSIDER Partner Series With over 11 million cases of hypertension in the U.S., sodium reduction should be a main concern for developers and consumers alike. It can be a struggle to develop delicious, low sodium products. Whether it’s affecting the taste of the product, creating off notes, or cost concerns, there have constantly been factors hindering the success of sodium reduction. In the end, if consumers do not have a healthy alternative, they will still desire a salty profile. WILD offers an innovative natural solution for sodium reduction, capable of reducing sodium up to 45%. WILD’s development is label friendly and is combined with natural flavors, decreasing sodium in a wide range of applications including soups, sauces, meats, prepared foods, frozen entrees, bakery, dressings, snacks and bread.
