Case Study: Planet A Foods achieves consistent chocolate-like color with HunterLab ColorFlex L2

Planet A Foods achieves reliable batch-to-batch color consistency with HunterLab

Planet A Foods, a creator of cocoa-free chocolate, faced the challenge of achieving a consistent chocolate-like color in its ChoViva product. The dark-roasted grape seed flour used was so dark that critical color variations were invisible to the human eye, making visual quality control unreliable and threatening consumer acceptance. To solve this, they turned to HunterLab for an objective color measurement solution.

HunterLab implemented its ColorFlex L2 spectrophotometer to provide fast and repeatable color data for the powdered ingredients. This allowed Planet A Foods to detect minute deviations, precisely control the roasting process, and make immediate adjustments. The solution from HunterLab delivered reliable batch-to-batch consistency, ensuring the final product consistently met consumer expectations for chocolate appearance and bolstering quality confidence.
