New BatchPak Serves Up 100-Calorie Tortillas - Plus Weight-and Portion-Control Solutions

Allied Blending launches its new 100-calorie 10-inch flour tortilla batchpak, capitalizing on the popularity of 100-calorie products.  The new reduced-calorie batchpaks produce tortillas that weigh in at 62 grams and total just half the calories of comparable wraps.  Additionally, the tortilla formulation offers label opportunities including: excellent source of fiber, good source of calcium, low fat, and no trans fat.

Allied Blending's new 100-calorie flour tortilla batchpak meets increasing consumer demand for weight-control and portion-control solutions.  Using 100-calorie tortillas, processors can help consumers take charge of their diets with better monitoring of caloric intake.

What's more, Allied Blending's new, "trimmer" tortilla formulation can help consumers feel fuller longer, an attribute associated with high-fiber foods.  In fact, the ability of certain food, such as fiber-rich items, to satisfy hunger is an idea that is gaining momentum in the diet and nutrition fields.  Many nutrition experts report that "satiety" is the diet buzzword for du jour.

Ideal for foodservice and retail applications, 100-calorie tortillas also tap into the hot sandwich trend.  The tortilla makes an excellent wrap for a vegetarian burrito that can total less than 300 calories.
