Ingredients for confectionery baked goods & sweet products

More and more people decide to consume specific diets. The reasons are various – some want to support their overall well-being others change to tackle intolerances or change the way they eat simply out of conviction.

With a wide range of “Free From”, IREKS is creating worthy options for people who are turning to lactose-free, palm oil-free, additive-free, egg-free, sugar-free or vegan baked goods. Since the quality and safety of our baking ingredients is just as essential, we make use of a comprehensive allergen management, a self-contained, batch-based production and quality checks in every stage of our production.

Since 1995, IREKS has been offering a large gluten-free portfolio. The texture-providing protein gluten plays a major role in the baking process of cereals, which is why its avoidance can be very challenging. Gluten-free baked goods are in demand, however, because an increasing number of people who do not have coeliac disease comes to the conscious decision not to include gluten in their diet.

Meeting high safety standards in the production process, we choose specifically selected gluten-free ingredients that are then processed in our self-contained batch mixing system. In this way, IREKS can exclude cross-contamination. The final step is an intensive testing in our IREKS IQ Centre.

Food is of major importance in the Jewish and Muslim religions, which is why its selection and manufacture are subject to strict dietary laws. Our special range of kosher and halal products is therefore certified by a rabbi or imam. In this way, relevant factors, such as the cultivation of the raw materials used as well as their certification and the cleaning of the machines involved in production, are determined.

In order to take these into account in the manufacturing process accordingly, we have the best prerequisites due to our own agricultural trade and the production of our baking ingredients in a closed batch mixing system. On request, we can offer a special range of kosher and halal products.
