This concept utilises flavour masking and fermentation solutions, while achieving great flavour through Kerry’s savoury flavours and Kerry Red Arrow™ smoke technologies.
Applewood Smoked Cheddar Popcorn: A vegan-suitable popcorn with a creamy, sharp mature cheddar flavour, delicately enrobed in Applewood Smoke via Kerry Red Arrow™. A low sodium content is achieved with Kerry Tastesense™ Salt technology.

Kerry is a sponsor of the Foodpro ‘Sensory Experience’. Through our Taste expertise and technologies, we will bring to life great-tasting beverages that support health. Visitors to our Sensory Experience stand will be able to taste 4 tasty concepts:
Orange & Ginger Immunity Booster Shot is a perfect kickstart to the day. It features a fiery but juicy shot loaded with citrus and ginger goodness, with a hint of turmeric. The booster showcases Kerry’s natural flavours of Stone Ginger Beer and Orange, and Simply Nature™ Turmeric extract. Sugar reduction is achieved with Tastesense™ Sweet and Wellmune™ is included. A baker’s yeast beta glucan, Wellmune™ is clinically proven to help strengthen the immune system.
Vegan Protein Punch is a refreshing vegan berry flavoured protein water that contains ProDiem™ Refresh; a pea protein isolate that cuts clear in water. It uses Kerry’s Tastesense™ Advanced modulation and masking technology to address the mouthfeel and taste challenge traditionally associated with plant protein. It contains BC30™probiotic strain that has been shown to provide digestive health and protein utilisation benefits.
Refreshing Lemon Fruit Splash helps invigorate and counter that mid-afternoon slump. This mid calorie beverage utilises Tastesense™ sweet modulation. It features an authentic citrus extract to deliver a true- to-fruit refreshing profile, from Kerry’s Simply Nature™ range and Citrapure™ technology that locks in delicious taste using natural flavour while optimising clean label preservation.
Cherrywood Smoked Margarita Mocktail is a great way to end the day. This non-alcoholic beverage provides a sophisticated option for consumers who choose not to drink or want healthier alternatives. It showcases Kerry’s Red Arrow™ smoke capabilities and Tastesense™ Sensations range. Together, these innovations replicate delicious, craveable, and aromatic smoke profiles while mimicking alcohol perception and stimulating warming, cooling, and tingling sensations.
