Ardent Mills releases new powder meant to mimic cocoa

Ardent Mills introduces Cocoa Replace, a wheat-based, clean-label solution to cocoa powder. It is designed to replace 25 per cent of cocoa powder in cakes, brownies, cookies and muffins.

The powder is also vegan, kosher-certified and non-GMO.

“Cocoa Replace is a targeted response to cocoa market volatility, but it’s also part of a broader strategy,” said Angie Goldberg, chief growth officer at Ardent Mills. “We’re focused on helping our customers build resilience into their supply chains and formulation strategies—supporting not just the challenges they face today, but the ones coming next.”
