Clean label formulation isn’t just a challenge—it’s an art and a science. When you remove artificial ingredients, preservatives, and enhancers, you’re left with fewer tools in the toolkit. That’s where deep experience makes all the difference. At CuliNEX, we’ve spent 20 years refining clean label product development—and with over 300 years of combined expertise, we know how to push the boundaries of what’s possible. ?? Take gluten-free bread as an example. A client came to us after struggling to create a formulation that met their ingredient and nutritional profile goals. Our culinologists got to work, testing 30 to 40 different starch systems, evaluating textures, flavors, and structures—until we found the magic key that unlocked the perfect performance. That’s the power of experience. It’s knowing which ingredients, techniques, and interactions will lead to the right outcome—because we’ve tested, refined, and perfected them over decades. ? If you’re looking to develop a clean label product that performs, our team is ready to help. Let’s create something extraordinary—together. ??

Food product development is complex, and clean label innovation pushes that challenge even further. At CuliNEX, we’re proud of our 300+ years of collective development experience—experience that has taught us the art of balancing chemistry, sensory science, and consumer appeal. In our latest blog, CEO Mark Crowell shares how our team tackled the tough challenge of creating a gluten-free bread product. After testing 30–40 different starch systems, our Culinologists discovered the “magic key” that unlocked the perfect performance. It’s a testament to how relentless experimentation and deep expertise are essential in transforming ambitious ideas into successful, clean label products.
