Fourth U.S. Patent Issued for Hahn's Yogurt & Cream Cheese - Reported by Cheese Reporter

Franklin Foods, Inc. has been issued its fourth patent from the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) for Hahn's Yogurt & Cream Cheese. Patent number 7,763,294 has been issued to inventors Jon Gutknecht and John Ovitt for a technique for making a lowfat yogurt-cheese composition.

Food Processing Magazine Article - Building Healthier Desserts

Author Mark Anthony, Ph.D, Technical Editor, continues the discussion on the growing demand for healthy desserts in the August issue of Food Processing Magazine. Dr. Anthony points to an interesting report by Innova Market Insights on the global positioning of chilled desserts launched in 2009. According to the report, Innova found 30 percent of newly launched products in the category were positioned based on health characteristics that included: no preservatives, low calorie, low cholesterol, gluten-free and vitamin/mineral fortified -- or in lifestyle choice such as vegetarian. Franklin Foods is experiencing a similiar trend as the demand for low-fat, reduced calorie and high-protein dairy ingredients are on the rise.
