Innophos Launches Solution For Nutrient Dense Bars

CRANBURY, NJ – March 3, 2025 – Innophos, a leader in leavening and baking solutions, expands its LEVAIR® portfolio with the launch of LEVAIR® Fortify for Nutrient Dense Bars. This new technology enables manufacturers to improve the eating experience of protein-fortified baked bars.

As demand for weight management solutions grows, so does the need for high-protein, nutrient-dense foods. However, manufacturers must balance protein content with taste and texture—crucial for those on GLP-1 medications, managing weight, or seeking a nutritious, on-the-go option.

Innophos’ new LEVAIR® Fortify solution helps overcome this challenge by improving the texture and volume of protein-fortified baked bars. High protein bars made with LEVAIR® Fortify remain soft and enjoyable, even with 30% more protein, making them an excellent choice for meal replacements or convenient snacks. Compared to a high-protein control, soft baked bars made with LEVAIR® Fortify delivered:

• 12% greater volume
• 53% softer texture
• 100% more calcium per serving

“By providing improved functionality in high-protein bar formulations, LEVAIR® Fortify allows manufacturers to create products that meet consumer demand without compromising on sensory experience,” said Karen Winkowski, PhD, VP of Innovation at Innophos.

This new product is part of LEVAIR’s comprehensive Baking Solutions portfolio, which includes other non-aluminum-based innovative offerings. These include products designed to extend the shelf life of bread and sweet baked goods, enhance batter stability, and ensure consistency while fortifying with calcium. This broad portfolio reflects Innophos’ commitment to providing science-backed, high-performance solutions to meet the evolving needs of the commercial baking industry.
