American Cheese without Melting Salt

Challenge 

A major processed cheese manufacturer approached Evera with the goal of developing a clean-label American cheese formulation capable of delivering the same functionality as traditional products. The client specifically sought an alternative solution that could entirely replace conventional melting salts, which are often a source of consumer concern. Evera was challenged to maintain the expected meltability, texture, and flavor profile while creating a clean label formulation. 

Evera’s solution 

To address these challenges, Evera replaced the melting salt in the original formulation with Fiberfeel DF, complemented by added water to ensure proper hydration and structural performance.  In parallel, Evera proposed Fiberfeel OF as an alternative by substituting the additional water needed in the powdered version with puree. Both strategies were designed to integrate seamlessly into the production process while delivering improved functionality  and clean label formulation through natural ingredients.
