Taste Transformed
Elevating taste with unrivalled expertise in nutritional optimisation and great authentic taste experiences.

NO IFS, ANDS OR BUTS

Taste is the ultimate non-negotiable

The one thing none of us will compromise on. In the shapeshifting, fast-moving food and beverage categories, every challenge, from processing and regulatory pressures to sustainability, nutritional optimisation, and evolving consumer demands, must be overcome with zero taste trade-off. That’s where we come in.

Taste demands innovation that never cuts corners

Perfecting complex, melt-in-your-mouth flavours at industrial scale is deeply nuanced. Consumers crave rich, roasted, seared or just-picked vegetable flavours that feel crafted with care – yet delivered at speed. Lowering salt or boosting protein, satisfying diverse palates and predicting ever-evolving cultural trends requires fast-paced innovation.

Authentic Taste in Meat

Consumers want meat products packed with bold, authentic flavours. Our taste solutions for meat include:

• Cooking Method Flavours: Slow-cooked meat preparations benefit from our line of cooking method flavours, which replicate the taste of time-intense processes in industrially manufactured meats.

• Meat Flavours: Fresh, flavourful and complex beef, pork and chicken flavours can be combined with our rich portfolio of cooking method flavours to inspire any meat application.

• Smoke & Grill Flavours: Create the harmony of flavours that come from cooking with fire with Kerry Red Arrow™ smoke and grill flavours, including smoky, ashy, chargrill, scorch, seared and flame-kissed.

• Umami & Kokumi: Bring depth and taste to savoury foods and meats without compromising overall balance.

• Other savoury meat solutions include:

• Rubs, Marinades & Glazes

• Meat Seasonings

• Tastesense™ for Sodium Reduction

• Smoke Conversion

PLANT

Driving the future of plant protein taste with cutting-edge innovations engineered for excellence

Environmental and Animal Welfare concerns are two of the main drivers that have led to the rise of the flexitarian consumer, who is reducing meat consumption and moving some meals to plant-based solutions. We at Kerry are at the forefront of this, leveraging our expertise and innovation to create healthier, cleaner, and more nutritious options for those who choose this. Our focus is not only on sustainability, but also on creating products that taste exceptional, with flavours and textures that give consumers the most authentic experience possible.

Kerry's sustainable plant proteins are associated with a reduction of CO2 emissions when compared with traditional meat processing. Our range of dried, chilled and IQF proteins, with wheat, soya and pea options, are available in a number of different formats and are suitable for use across many applications. Kerry is here to advise on the best plant protein to suit your needs and technical requirements.

There’s a science to the perfect smoky taste

We all crave the smoky, charred taste of open fire cooking. The truth is that traditional smoking methods make it unpredictable. Factors like the smokehouse, woodchips and even weather make consistency a challenge. Add rising energy costs, fire risks and CO2 reduction targets, and the task seems impossible. But consistency, efficiency and sustainability aren’t out of the question. In fact, they can co-exist.

Consistency. Efficiency. Sustainability. In perfect harmony.

Kerry Red Arrow™ solutions deliver a consistent smoky taste and plug smoothly into your production processes and requirements.
