Tate & Lyle has doubled the size of its food application laboratory in Shanghai, as the brand aims to advance the development of ingredients for healthy food and beverages.
This expansion has added new testing capabilities, which will enable the company to extensively trial new products for manufacturers in the the dairy, beverage, bakery, and soups, sauces and dressings segments.
Tate & Lyle claims that the expansion is part of a strategy to strengthen the brand’s position in the Asia Pacific market, as in the last few months the brand has invested in its factory in Jiangsu, China and its food application centre in Singapore.
According to the company, by doubling the size of the food application laboratory in Shanghai, it will be able to partner more closely with food and beverage manufacturers and continue to grow the business in the Chinese market.
