Ocean Spray ITG

Ocean Spray's Ingredient Technology Group (ITG) is part of Ocean Spray Cranberries Inc, a $1.7 billion (approximate gross sales) grower-owned cooperative comprising 600 cranberry and citrus growers across America and Canada. Founded in 1930, the group satisfies 70% of the global demand for cranberries from its headquarters in Massachusetts and various North American production locations.

The cranberry is recognised for its appealing bright red appearance, tangy taste and versatility, as well as its association with a growing number of health benefits. In Europe, sales of Ocean Spray branded products and ITG ingredients have topped $100 million, as the cranberry proves an exceptional success with consumers and manufacturers alike. In fact, cranberry ingredients can now be found in over a thousand products in over 50 countries around the globe.

Ocean Spray ITG is a product development resource for companies and organisations of all sizes. The group works as a strategic partner with customers, clients and food technologists to create customised recipes and increase market share through the application of technology.

The phenomenal success and growth of the cranberry can be attributed to Ocean Spray's dedication to helping manufacturers develop creative and highly appealing new product lines. Fifty years of research and experimentation have culminated in unparalleled knowledge and experience in new product development - from recipe formulation to market and ingredient analysis.

Ocean Spray's patented technologies have been used to create an extensive portfolio of fruit ingredients, which are available all year round for the bakery, confectionery, dairy, cereal, snack and nutraceutical industries:

  • Sweetened dried cranberries
  • BerryFusions® Fruits
  • Fruit purées
