EP70: Add Protein, Hold the Gluten

BAKED in Science

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.
