About

About J&K Ingredients Retaining Freshness, Naturally. At J&K, we have been providing natural and organic performance ingredients to bakeries for 125 years with over 75 years in providing natural shelf life ingredients to retain the 'fresh from the oven' quality consumers expect today. The reliable performance of our ingredients as well as our technical formulation and bakery operational expertise provides our customers with the unique ability to retain freshness longer — all while meeting the consumer demand for clean labels and great taste. In 2025, we introduced the next Innovation in bio-based mold inhibition with Bred-Mate® 1614 that is the leading Natural Verified mold inhibitor. Natural Verification goes beyond C-14 testing for bio-based content to verify naturalness and provide our customers with the confidence they require in quality. The portfolio of Bred-Mate® products are tailored to the performance required by different bakery applications. We have created a unique Bred-Mate® product selector tool on our website, www.jkingredients.com, where you can determine which option will work best for your bakery application. Additionally, new ingredient technologies for egg replacement and milk free bakery applications are available to optimize both cost reduction and allergen removal in formulations. Vita-EX® is a proven whole egg replacement for traditional egg washes and custard bakery fillings while also providing partial replacement of eggs in cakes, cookies and muffins.
