EPG is your chance to re-imagine your customers indulging in foods they might have otherwise stayed away from. For manufacturers and innovators looking to break through in a crowded, calorie-conscious, consumer landscape — EPG is the answer.

It’s an age-old dilemma, if food doesn’t taste good, people don’t want to eat it. Epogee has been teaming up with food and beverage innovators as they work to fight obesity and improve the health of society. EPG, as an alternative fat, has multiple uses. It can be included in nutritious recipes to further improve them, as well as be included in traditionally indulgent foods, dramatically reducing their caloric impact, to make them better-for-you. “As we know from experience, consumers are going to eat the foods that they like,” said Sarah Malenich, Senior Director of Marketing, Epogee LLC. “EPG is your chance to re-imagine your customers indulging in foods they might have otherwise stayed away from.”
“Americans are trying to lose weight!,” said Malenich. ‘”This is not new news to us, but the numbers continue to grow, and the economic impact has become staggering. According to the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics, 72% of adults in the U.S. over the age of 20 are overweight or obese. By utilizing our proprietary technology, EPG allows you to create craveable foods with up to 45% fewer calories per serving, without compromising flavor, texture, nutrient absorption or satiety.”
“For manufacturers and innovators looking to break through in a crowded, calorie-conscious, consumer landscape — EPG is the answer,” said Malenich. “The IFT show is timely for us, as EPG has recently achieved additional GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for an even wider variety of consumer-pleasing food and beverage categories.”
EPG has achieved GRAS designation for a variety of food and beverage categories including:
-
Confectionery - Frying applications & chicken nuggets
- Baked goods & baking mixes
- Frozen dairy desserts
- Peanut butters & nut butters
- Spreads, dips, gravies & sauces
