Just to keep you informed!

 

Kraft have just introduced new look Kenco Milk Whitener and Kenco Coffee Creamer jiggers, refreshing both the packaging and removing Hydrogenated Vegetable Oils (HVO’s).  However, a couple of customers have commented upon the change of name, from Skimmed Milk to Whole Milk. This is actually very positive, because our previous jiggers were derived from skimmed milk with non milk fat (Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil - HVO's) added back in to make up the fat content; whereas our new jiggers are derived entirely from whole milk i.e. contain milk fat rather than non milk HVO's.  As a consequence of the removal of the HVO’s, the fat content, in both instances, has actually been reduced and the other nutritionals are very similar. For example, the old Skimmed Milk product contained 4.2g of fat per 100g, whilst the new Whole Milk product contains only 3.5g of fat per 100g. Whilst it was very important for us to address this consumer health and wellness need, and customer expectations, it was also our desire to get as close as possible to taste parity verses the current products. In sensory panel tests, taste was evaluated in terms of 'degrees of difference' verses current, and the new product performed very well, with low degrees of difference scores. However, there are some differences that is simply due to a new manufacturer with a different ingredient make up.  I will be revising your published price list shortly to reflect this change.  As always, if you require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact the team.
