Symrise announces the launch of new chicken powders that it will produce at its Berric site in France. The new spray-drying tower, operational from mid-2026, will expand Symrise’s production capacity and portfolio. The company already offers a complete range of chicken solutions for taste, texture, mouthfeel and nutritional benefits, from food ingredients to high-impact flavor creations. This expansion will further enhance the versatility and breadth of its chicken offering to meet key customer needs.
The industrial expansion responds to the growing global demand for chicken, one of the most preferred ingredients worldwide. It strengthens Symrise’s chicken portfolio and ensures reliable supply for customers across regions. While Symrise already produces these powders in the United States, these new French powders open access to the Europe, Africa and Middle East market, increase capacity for Asia Pacific and Latin America, and reinforce supply security with dual sourcing options for global accounts.
Also, the new powders allow Symrise to respond to the growing demand for convenient, cost-efficient, and indulgent natural chicken solutions, widely used in noodles, bouillons, and soups. They combine sustainable sourcing with consistent quality and allow for clean labels. This helps food manufacturers differentiate their products in competitive markets. Customers can already obtain early samples for evaluation.
“The Berric site plays a central role in supporting our global customers,” says Antoine Coursault, Strategic Growth Competence Director for Chicken within Symrise Food & Beverage. “With this new spray-drying tower, we are introducing chicken powders that expand the options available to food manufacturers, provide reliable supply, and support innovation in product development. The expanded site reinforces our ability to serve regional markets, while offering additional options for global accounts. With the new capabilities, Symrise reinforces its leadership in comprehensive chicken expertise.”
With the help of its technology and insight experts, the company masters the whole value chain and uniquely combines natural chicken ingredients with extensive flavor capabilities to meet evolving consumer preferences worldwide. Next to powders, Symrise offers a wide range of chicken-based ingredients, from broths, fat and chicken pieces to a wide variety of authentic taste profiles (such as roasted, boiled, grilled), with proven performance in savory foods and clean labeling opportunities. Building on its broad chicken portfolio, this expansion illustrates how Symrise Food & Beverage is Accelerating Advantage: The company helps food innovators driven to stay ahead to deliver products that stand out in a competitive market.
