In the dairy industry, inclusions commonly add color, taste, and texture to premium ice cream — think chunks of cookie dough, swirls of caramel, and slivers of nuts and cherries — and yogurt with its now popular “sidecar” packaging. Yet, the possibilities don’t end there. From cottage cheese to pudding and cream cheese, most dairy companies are “all in” when it comes to mix-ins, fruit flavors, and crunchy inclusions.
Nuts, chocolate, fruit, and other inclusions can elevate dairy foods from ho-hum to top-shelf. As a result, “Companies are stepping up their innovation game when it comes to single-serve options with toppings,” relays Amanda Cardinal, marketing coordinator of Pecan Deluxe Candy Co., Dallas, Texas.
