Foodarom's expertise in custom flavors and masking agents is highly synergistic with Glanbia's core protein business: it allows Glanbia to sell not just the protein powder, but the entire flavored formulation (e.g., "Strawberry Whey Isolate" ready-to-mix) to its sports nutrition and lifestyle clients.
