Modified starches

Starches altered industrially to thicken, bind or hold texture through freezing and reheating. Found in the Black Forest ham.

Emulsifiers

Help oil-based and water-based ingredients blend and stay blended. Found in the Mini Artisan Italian roll and Pepper Jack cheese.

Flavourings

Add or restore taste lost during processing. Found in the Mini Artisan Italian roll, Black Forest ham and Pepper Jack cheese.

Preservatives

Slow the growth of bacteria, yeasts and moulds in centrally prepared components, and keep cured meats pink. Found in the Black Forest ham and Pepper Jack cheese.

Emulsifying and buffering salts

Let processed cheese melt smoothly, keep cured meats moist, or hold acidity steady. Found in the Black Forest ham and Pepper Jack cheese.

Protein and dairy fractions

Isolated proteins and dairy by-products used to add bulk, structure or a creamy texture. Found in the Mini Artisan Italian roll.
