With more than 7.3 million Americans now claiming to be vegetarians and vegans, a new group of meat-conscious consumers are emerging. These are people who still eat meat but are taking measured steps to cut back on their meat consumption in an effort to improve weight and health, save money, practice sustainability, reduce their carbon footprint and to experiment with global cuisine. Comax Flavors ingredients replace and enhance the flavors of meats while still meeting the needs of consumers who are non-meat eaters. Meatless flavors include: chicken, roasted pork, Italian sausage, bacon, hot dog, Mexican sausage, turkey, among many others. These flavors are perfect for standard meatless products, as well as in broths, sauces and marinades; and are available in both natural and artificially flavored formulations, as well as in oil soluble, water soluble, liquid and powdered versions. All are kosher-certified. www.ComaxFlavors.com.
