FORMULATION
Upping the
game
The use of upcycled ingredients can be a
big part of a product's selling points.
by Donna Berry | donnaberry@dairy-food.com
C
heesemakers have been producing
upcycled ingredients - namely in
the form of dried whey - since
before upcycling was even a coined
term. Butter manufacturers, too, as true
buttermilk is the liquid that remains after
whole milk has been churned into butter.
Upcycling is all about preventing healthful,
nutritious foods and food ingredients from
becoming waste by giving them a second
chance to be consumed.
To assist in this effort, social activists
Ben Gray and Turner Wyatt founded the
Upcycled Foods Association (UFA), Denver,
and officially defined the term " upcycled
food " in 2020 for use in policy, research
and more. The team of consulting experts
agreed that " upcycled foods use ingredients
that otherwise would not have gone to
human consumption, are procured and
produced using verifiable supply chains and
have a positive impact on the environment. "
Since then, UFA has enlisted as many as
230 members worldwide and says it has
diverted an estimated 840 million pounds of
food waste from landfills. Along the way, it
created a third-party validation process and
has officially certified 236 upcycled food
products and ingredients.
COMMUNICATING EFFORTS
Upcycling has been going on in the food
and ingredient space for a long time, but
without the recognition it is getting today
as a result of growing consumer interest
in reducing food waste through a circular
economy. Processors and marketers are
now quantifying their production or use of
upcycled ingredients and making this part
of the product's selling points.
Innova Market Insights, The
Netherlands, has tracked consumer
sentiment towards foods made with
upcycled ingredients for several years. In
