Reduce Sugar & Salt in Food Formulations Naturally with VersiLac

Salt on a spoon

Today’s consumers are increasingly seeking clean-label, better-for-you food options—with less sugar and salt, but no compromise on taste or functionality. At Proliant Dairy, we’re helping food manufacturers meet these demands naturally with VersiLac®, our high-quality whey permeate.

VersiLac® offers a cost-effective, clean-label alternative for reducing added sugar and salt in a variety of food and beverage applications. VersiLac® brings a natural touch of sweetness and browning in baked goods and snacks—reducing the need for added sugars without affecting flavor or appearance. In savory applications, its natural mineral content enhances salty perception, allowing for significant sodium reductions while maintaining great taste.

We also offer low mineral VersiLac® options, giving formulators more flexibility to fine-tune flavor, functionality, and mineral content based on the needs of your specific application.

Whether you’re reformulating to meet new nutritional targets or launching a clean-label innovation, VersiLac® helps you create products that deliver on taste, functionality, and consumer appeal—naturally. Read more about VersiLac® ingredients
