Ulrick + Short

Ulrick + Short are specialists in functional ingredients, clean labels and better recipes.

We pride ourselves not just on the rigour and skills of our science, but on our ability to solve the problems our customers face. Whether it’s about texture, nutrition or simplification, we’re able to tailor specific solutions to specific challenges. It’s our own unique working formula, developed not in the lab, but in partnership and collaboration with our customers across 25 years of business.

We offer a comprehensive range of functional ingredients designed to overcome challenges such as fat or sugar reduction, fibre and protein fortification, phosphate removal, texture improvements and allergen-free development. Each solution is developed to integrate efficiently into existing manufacturing processes and to simplify ingredient declarations.

Our ingredients are used across a wide range of food sectors, including bakery, meat and fish, ready meals, soups and sauces, vegetarian and vegan, organic, batters and coatings, and performance foods. With a focus on cleaner labels, transparent ingredient lists, and technical support, we help manufacturers develop products that meet both consumer expectations and production requirements.

How we help our customers:

• We Solve Problems - Our core focus is not selling ingredients, it's solving technical and commercial challenges. We work with manufacturers to overcome formulation issues and deliver tailored solutions that meet specific product objectives
• Expertise in Application - Our strength lies in applying ingredient science to real-world food manufacturing challenges. By combining technical knowledge with practical application expertise, we help customers find the best solution for their unique requirements. 
• Partners, Not Suppliers - We build long-term collaborative relationships with our customers. Rather than taking a transactional approach, we work as an extension of our customers' teams, providing insight, support and expertise throughout the development process
• Agile and Always Evolving - With more than 25 years of experience, we combine proven expertise with a forward-thinking mindset. We continuously innovate and adapt to changing market, consumer and regulatory needs, helping customers stay ahead of industry trends.
