As food innovation accelerates to meet evolving consumer health demands, one ingredient is making waves for its game-changing potential: EPG, a modified plant-based oil that cuts up to 92% of calories from fat—without compromising taste or texture.
Developed by Epogee, EPG (short for esterified propoxylated glycerol) is currently the only fat alternative on the market that mimics the creaminess and mouthfeel of traditional fats, while dramatically reducing calorie content. For food manufacturers and retailers alike, that’s a major opportunity—especially in today’s wellness-focused marketplace.
A Perfect Fit for Frozen Innovation
In the frozen aisle, EPG opens new doors for better-for-you indulgences. Think creamy frozen yogurts, ice cream alternatives, baked goods, and savory frozen snacks—now with fewer calories and lower fat content.
But beyond indulgent treats, EPG can complement frozen fruits and vegetables in ready-made meals and snack formats. Imagine pairing frozen cauliflower in low-cal frozen mashed blends, or combining EPG with frozen berries in high-protein smoothie pouches. With the rising popularity of GLP-1 medications, consumers are eating less—but they’re also demanding more nutrition and satisfaction per bite. EPG helps brands deliver exactly that.
Why It Matters for B2B Food Businesses
As Gen Z, wellness enthusiasts, and weight-conscious consumers reshape food trends, there’s rising demand for options that balance function, flavor, and convenience. With EPG’s unique ability to slash fat calories without sacrificing quality, food manufacturers and foodservice providers have a powerful tool to reformulate or launch products that meet today’s standards.
Frozen food brands that integrate EPG into their offerings can stand out as innovators—especially as health-driven shoppers scrutinize nutrition panels more than ever.
