Company presents high performance solutions in applied technology with a complete portfolio for all proteins and condiments
DR Flavors & Ingredients, one of the largest manufacturers of flavors, extracts and ingredients for the global food and beverage industry, participates in Tecnocarne 2026, one of the main meetings of the animal protein chain in Latin America.
At the fair, the company presents its complete portfolio for meat, with formulations that combine flavor, sensory technology and industrial efficiency. They are solutions in flavors, condiments, additives, conservation and technologies for all protein sources: beef, pork, poultry and fish, and different applications, from traditional sausages and processed products to products aligned with the new trends of convenience, practicality and healthiness.
By returning to Tecnocarne, DR reaffirms its position as a complete supplier of ingredients for the animal protein industry and reinforces its ability to meet the demands of an ever-evolving market from end to end. For Marco Henriques, Marketing Director of DR Flavors & Ingredients, the participation aims to show how DR, as the largest flavor company in Latin America, can contribute to the composition of flavors that connect technology and sensory identity.
“Our presentation at the fair seeks to show the industry that we have a robust and versatile portfolio, capable of serving all categories of proteins with maximum industrial efficiency, yield and standardization. We want to go beyond the obvious, presenting solutions that reflect the main global consumption trends, such as healthiness, practicality and high protein intake, without giving up the sensory signature that only DR can deliver,” says the executive.
