GNT will showcase the potential of its plant-based EXBERRY® colours with functional confectionery concepts and more at ISM Ingredients 2026 (February 1-4, Cologne).

EXBERRY® colours are made from non-GMO fruits, vegetables, and plants. They can be used to deliver a complete spectrum of shades in food and drink, including almost all types of confectionery.

At ISM Ingredients, GNT (Hall 10.1 | J010 H011) will present a wide variety of colorful confectionery and snack concepts to demonstrate the possibilities with EXBERRY®.

The company will also offer six different fruit gums that tap into the functional confectionery trend with ingredients such as ashwagandha, caffeine, and vitamin C. The gums are all created with bold, energetic, and saturated EXBERRY® colours to represent their functional benefits and exotic flavour profiles.

Expert Insights

GNT’s experts will be available throughout the event to explain more about the concepts, offer advice on using EXBERRY® in different applications, and discuss the latest colour trends.

They will also be able to provide information on the colours’ sustainability benefits, including the fact that Product Carbon Footprint figures are available for 98% of the EXBERRY® portfolio.

Teresa Fischer, Technical Sales Manager at GNT Group, said: “EXBERRY® is a plant-based, sustainable colouring solution that can be used to deliver vibrant shades and build instant connections with shoppers. Join us at ISM to discover how we can help you create confectionery that truly resonates with modern consumers.”
