Product development

We have Process Development Centres in the US, Brazil, Sweden, India, Singapore and Japan. Our Centres are specialised in testing the processing and packaging of new drinks.

We work with customers and industry partners to develop new products for school feeding, from drinks based on crops not previously packed in a liquid form or fortified versions of an existing drink.

In 2003, Tetra Pak Indonesia developed a new innovative drink based on peas and lentils, in close cooperation with the USA Dry Peas and Lentil Council. The fortified drink was launched in a school feeding programme in Indonesia 2004.

In South Africa, we developed a drink based on pre-cooked soy and maize isolates. The drink, called Nutri-Sip, is heavily fortified with 30 micronutrients, and is distributed in a school feeding programme in Nasarawa State in Nigeria.

In Nigeria, a number of raw materials have been tested to develop a new drink based on local produce. White and red sorghum, millet, maize and sassava have been tested.

The possibilities are endless. Please contact us with enquiries about the multiple formulations that we can process and pack to meet the nutritional requirements of your feeding programme.
