CRANBURY, NJ.  — Innophos has developed a specialty blend of emulsifier salts that provide consistent textural and melt characteristics to mimic traditional processed cheese, according to the company. The blend also helps ensure a moist final product and helps

manufacturers improve the texture of upcycled cheese, the company said.

Our knowledgeable team is dedicated to creating science-backed solutions that help our customers deliver the highest quality products to their consumers.”
