Flav-R-Bites®
 |
Product Description:
Flav-R-Bites are specially processed flavored and/or colored particulates designed to add the perfect flavor and/or color, texture, and piece identity to your product.
Either natural or artificial flavors or colors can be used. Flav-R-Bites are processed using patented cold extrusion technology, which enables the piece to provide strong product identity, even when exposed to the combined effects of sustained heat and moisture commonly found in baking applications.
Flav-R-Bites require no refrigeration, and are available with NO Trans Fat and NON-GMO formulations. These features provide our customers with a distinct advantage over competitive products.

Product Application:
Flav-R-Bites are physically firm with relatively low moisture for good shelf life and storage until used. The product can be mixed directly into a dough or batter and baked in normal fashion.
The baking process hydrates the product, transforming it into a soft, vibrant inclusion. The color, color "bleed", flavor, size, and textural qualities can be altered through formulation to provide a product to fit the specific application and taste of the customer.

| #5305 Blueberry | #5310 Cinnamon | #5320 Strawberry |
| #5330 Chocolate | #5340 Orange | #5350 Apple Cinnamon |
| #5360 Cherry | #5040 Cranberry | |
