These collectively offer a range of options for customers to create tailored applications. We also work directly with customers to create individual recipe solutions.

As part of our highly flexible service offering and enhanced by a dedicated Product Development and Innovation centre, all of our Britannia specialty fats are non-hydrogenated, providing the option of replacing existing hydrogenated fats in recipes to support health trends and create clean ingredient labels.
History of Britannia
Founded as Britannia Food Ingredients in 1996 in Goole, United Kingdom, the company grew rapidly to become a leading independent supplier of specialty fats to the confectionery and snack food industries.
Acquired by us in 2011, it was rebranded as Britannia and has since become our solution for specialty fats. The Britannia brand is renowned for its research and development, innovation, product enhancement and service capabilities.
Ingredients offering
CBI
Chocolate products are sensitive to temperature fluctuations and softening can lead to fat migration and fat bloom. In warmer climates this can be a serious problem. Our Cocoa Butter Improver (CBI) fats are designed to protect products by increasing hardness in warmer temperatures.
CBE
Designed to enhance the stability, shelf life and value of products, our Cocoa Butter Equivalent (CBE) fats are manufactured to support the characteristics of milk and dark chocolates and to improve melting, stability and flavor characteristics.
Confectionery
We offer a range of vegetable fats developed for use in the confectionery and snack food industries. These versatile fats can all be produced from sustainably sourced components, offer superior end product texture properties and are excellent options in a range of applications.
Sourcing palm oil responsibly
