DANISCO®
SHELF LIFE EXTENSION SOLUTIONS
For The Bakery Industry
Fresher, any way you slice it.
Waste is one of the largest problems the bakery industry faces. Reducing product spoilage
and extending shelf life is not just about sustainability; it's about cost. At DuPont Nutrition
& Health, we understand the cost pressures inherent in bakery production and realize that
adding even one extra day of shelf life to a product can become a competitive advantage.
The DuPont™ Danisco® range of shelf life extension solutions for the bakery industry
helps you address your shelf life challenges and allows you to deliver the fresh, shelf-stable
products your customers demand. Our industry-proven freshness technologies will give you
mold free, worry free shelf life with the fresh baked flavor your customers love.

2. We Combine Knowledge, Experience, and Ingredients
Many factors have an influence on a product’s shelf life – ranging from the ingredients used in a formulation
to the conditions and processes of the facility where it is produced to the methods of distribution. Finding
the perfect balance for your brands can pose challenges for even the largest of food manufacturers.
DuPont Nutrition & Health can help.
