Dairy Processing - May/June 2024 - 20

Imports that are not
compliant with the NOP
SOE rules will be returned
to their country
of origin or have to be
sold as conventional
products.
" Consumers have learned about these issues
and are now seeking products that align with
their values, " said Aaron Iverson, national sales
manager, Global Organics, Cambridge, Mass.
" They understand that organic cocoa is grown
in a more sustainable way without the use of
synthetic additives. This resonates with healthconscious
consumers. "
The goal is
to protect
organic
integrity
and bolster
consumer
confidence
in the USDA
organic seal. "

Organic Program (NOP)
Research from Barry Callebaut, Zurich,
shows consumers are becoming more
environmentally conscious and looking for
chocolate produced in a way that is perceived
as sustainable and ethical. Almost seven out
of 10 consumers prefer chocolate brands
and products that enable them to do good
for people and the planet, according to Barry
Callebaut. Organic certification supports
such efforts.
" Organic " means the chocolate was
produced using only organic methods and
contains a minimum of 95% organic ingredients.
For some marketers and consumers that's
enough. Others want more.
Agostoni, a chocolate brand from Icam SpA,
Italy, produces 100% organic chocolate made
with all organic-certified ingredients, which
include the cocoa liquor, cane sugar, cocoa
butter, vanilla extract and soy lecithin. Icam
controls the entire production chain, from
the plantation to the finished product. The

traceable powders, chips, chunks and other
formats are produced following an ethical and
sustainable approach.
Dr. Bronner's, Vista, Calif., now offers
regenerative organic certified salted dark
chocolate. The confection is made with a blend
of regenerative organic certified ingredients,
including cocoa from Ghana and Ivory Coast,
cocoa butter from Congo, bourbon vanilla from
Madagascar and coconut sugar from Indonesia.
Organic plant-based proteins are another
growing category, Iverson said. And all
plant-based proteins are available with
organic certification.
" The future of plant-based is with clean
and simple ingredients, " Iverson said. " Organic
certification gets you there. "
Iverson added, " And everything coconut
is booming, the milk, the cream, the sugar,
the nectar, even the aminos. Coconut aminos
are similar to soy sauce, with an umami,
savory profile, with a hint of sweetness but no
coconut flavor. "
Coconut aminos are derived from the
fermented sap of a coconut palm tree and sea
salt. They may directly replace soy sauce in a
formulation and the organic-certified labeling
offers a better-for-you proposition.
Organic sugars such as coconut sugar also
are popular. In the better-for-you consumer's
