Dalziel
Dalziel Ingredients has added two new graduates to its specialist product development team.
John Camus and Roya Rasouli have joined the company as graduate NPD technologists.
Camus graduated this year with a first-class honours degree in food science and nutrition from Northumbria University after a six-week placement with Dalziel Ingredients last year. –
Rasouli studied at Sheffield Hallam University, where she graduated with an honours degree in food marketing.
A third graduate NPD technologist is also joining later on in the month.
Dr Fiona Caple, Northumbria University’s director of programmes, department of applied sciences, said: “We have a great ongoing relationship with Dalziel. We know our graduates will be exposed to the highest professional standards.”
Dalziel’s product development team advises food manufacturers across the UK on flavour trends, market analysis, factory processes, recipe formulations and product quality enhancements (increasing yields, salt reductions, improved texture and fat reduction).
The company is currently seeing a high demand for advice and ideas for the gluten-free sector.
Glenvale Pork is billed as a superior quality range of pork, which is provided in a wide selection of cuts and trimmings for retail, catering and manufacturing butchers. It is exclusively available from Dalziel’s meat depots throughout the UK. Dalziel meat sales director David Whyatt said: “We’re very proud to team up with Westvlees to introduce our own pork brand, which is an excellent quality product. We have worked with Westvlees for many years and believe this new brand will strengthen our share of the pork market in the UK. This is an exciting time for Dalziel’s meat division.” Westvlees UK sales manager Michael Catry said: “We have worked with David and his team for over 15 years, and we look forward to an even stronger partnership.” Glenvale is the second exclusive meat brand to be launched by Dalziel, following the launch of its ‘Drovers beef range’ in partnership with Dunbia three years ago.
