The range of cultures for plant-based cultured products intended for vegan, vegetarian, and lactose intolerant consumers

The demand for lactose-free or plant-based foods and drinks is constantly increasing, as is the demand for alternative products to the classic milk or yoghurt of animal origin. 4Choice is the new Sacco System range of cultures composed of cultures, free of known allergens and products of animal origin, suitable for vegan products.

The cultures of the 4Choice range are perfect for plant-based fermented products and drinks based on pulses, cereals, coconut, nuts and drupes, which ensure texture, flavour and aroma development.

All the range of lactic cultures 4Choice are naturally lactose-free and certified in accordance with the demand for ingredients without allergens, without soy, and without GMOs according to the VLOG "Ohne Gentechnik".

The 4Choice range ensures a controlled and uniform production of fermented products of plant origin of each type (set, stirred, high protein, drink or diluted) and are available in both versions lyophilized (Lyofast) and frozen (Cryofast).
