Jul. 23, 2026 at 3:22 PM
In this Taste Radio interview, Ray sits down with Colleen Zammer of Bay State Milling to talk about how nutrition trends are reshaping the food and beverage industry. Zammer brings deep expertise in ingredient innovation, particularly around Bay State Milling's Healthsense high-fiber wheat flour, a solution built to help brands meet growing consumer demand for functional, nutrient-dense foods without compromising taste.
The conversation covers why fiber is emerging as a critical complement to protein, driven by rising interest in gut health and "nutrition efficiency," and how the protein-plus-fiber combination is becoming a defining trend for the year ahead. Zammer also unpacks the growing influence of GLP-1 medication users on food formulation, the opportunity ultra-processed food scrutiny creates for clean-label brands, and how Bay State Milling partners with founders from formulation through manufacturing and packaging claims.
