The Natural way to grow your brand…

Looking for Partners to enable New Dosing Platform

”In today’s food and beverage environment we fully understand the importance of “consumer trust” and delivering value.

Our standard dosing cap is probably one of the best of current dosing cap solutions in the market however during our 2 years development work with CHR Hansen and further clinic trials in the Pharma market we were forced to raise our protection standards (it is well known our standard cap sets the bar high). In addition, we now get inquiries on a daily basis however most brands are not fully satisfied with what is currently on the market. – so we decided to tackle these weaknesses of existing platforms head-on.

We are now ready to Partner with the right brands to enable our new platform!

Key deliverables:

1. 2 year shelf-life using active materials
2. Controllable internal environment to enhance the longevity and efficacy of value-added ingredients
3. In-line (production) Flexibility of “drop (agitator)” and “no-drop” seal disk option
4. Bespoke brand customization – improve aesthetics in line with your brand or multiple brands
5. Target €0.10 unit cost

Key requirements:

1. Ambition to develop new categories with our dosing platform
2. Capability of committing to 100,000,000 units over first 36 months

Please email j.mccormack@freshbeveragesinternational.com – James McCormack Managing Director Fresh Beverages International

Pharma company clinical tests complete

”Patience pays off and clinical trial are now complete. We always knew cracking the high standards required for medicine or pharma-style products would take time however would also be a great proving ground.

Twist ‘n’ shake: Probiotics in new shelf stable beverage format

A ground breaking alliance project involving Chr. Hansen and Fresh Beverages International makes it possible for producers of non-refrigerated beverages to add probiotics in their drinks.
For decades people all over the world have been supplementing with probiotics through their consumption of probiotic yoghurt and other products in the refrigerated dairy category containing the beneficial bacteria. However, due to insurmountable challenges with the survival of the live probiotic bacteria in beverages kept at ambient temperature, the non-refrigerated beverage category has been non-probiotic territory. Until now, that is.

Once imagined, now possible

“We are very pleased to be able to bring the powerful health benefits of our best-selling probiotic strain Bifidobacterium BB-12® to an entirely new product segment,” says Chr. Hansen’s Lars Bredmose, Marketing Director, Probiotic Cultures.

“BB-12® is one of the world’s best documented and most widely used probiotic strains. It is trusted by millions of consumers of dairy and food supplements all over the world to bring benefits in digestive and immune health – in an entirely natural form. The partnership with Fresh Beverages International offers a convenient way for beverage producers to offer probiotics in virtually any type of drink.”
Simple-Twist-&-Shake—Superior-Quality-Patented-Dosing-Technology

“The Shinsen™ ® Cap is an easy-to-use dosing cap suitable for even the most sensitive, value-added ingredients such as BB-12® and other functional or sensitive ingredients,” says James McCormack, Managing Director, Fresh Beverages International which has more than 10 years of commercial experience producing and developing dosing caps.

Shinsen® was developed in Japan and quite literally means “fresh” in Japanese – that’s our promise – to keep your probiotics alive and fresh!

Fresh Beverage International’s superior, patented “seal and gas flushing technology” provides a unique air tight, light tight and water tight environment, providing the highest quality protection for functional ingredients like BB-12®. The probiotic culture is kept fresh up until the point of consumption – a simple twist releases the probiotics into the beverage. As a result consumers can now get the maximum benefit of the Probiotic BB-12® in their freshly made beverage.

The Shinsen® Cap was also designed with simplicity in mind. “Simplicity for the consumer – a simple twist ‘n’ shake – and simplicity for the beverage industry – allowing for high speed production and a new, commercially viable beverage technology, thus opening the door to a new world of possibilities in functional beverages” concludes James McCormack.

Shelf life of one year

The combination of the unique Shinsen® Cap and a patented formulation of BB-12® powder offers a shelf life of at least one year at ambient temperature.

“The long shelf life is key to entering this segment where distribution is independent of cooling chains and point-of-sale is outside the in-store refrigerators,” says Lars Bredmose. “We believe that this solution combines the need for probiotics with superior clinical documentation with high stability and convenience.”

Be the first in a new era of Probiotic Beverages…

Together Chr Hansen and Fresh Beverages International can provide a range of supply-chain solutions depending on your geographical location, size and ambition.

More importantly we have reserved production capacity from the main production facilities in Japan in order to support a limited number of local test markets for our customers.

Now we have developed a new improved version of the Shinsen™Cap suitable for the EU and US markets. We have spent the last two years establishing strategic partnerships with leading global ingredients partners so that we can offer customers the very latest in Natural and Function Beverages. It is now possible to create functional drinks with “real value-add”. This is particularly important with today’s demanding regulations. “ – James McCormack Managing Director Fresh Beverages International

Q. Is dosing a reality?

“Yes, dosing is now a commercial reality. At FRESH BEVERAGES INTERNATIONAL we have gone to great extremes to reduce unit costs and ensure we have an industrial solution for every customer. For small customers or those who simply want to try dosing we can supply these customers from our purpose built test capacity factory.

We also have several local operators in Europe and the US who can support production.

If a customer needs help in creating any aspect of the finished product we can help. We have now aligned ourselves with several global suppliers especially ingredients companies. In particular we have dedicated teams at WILD Flavours and IFF who are happy to assist in developing new beverage solutions for us. “ – James McCormack Managing Director Fresh Beverages International
