In its commitment to offering innovative food solutions, Cargill unveiled a line of products under its NatureFresh Professional brand and showcased pioneering offerings tailored for the Indian Food and Bakery industry at AAHAR 2024, India’s premier international food and hospitality fair.
Under the theme 'The Whole World of Possibilities', Cargill introduced a range of applications and products spanning Bakery, Confectionery, Chocolates, and Convenience Foods. A standout launch was the Chocolate Indulgence line under NatureFresh Professional, featuring block chocolates, cocoa powder, and chocolate chips. Crafted through extensive research among India’s top bakers, these products come in four variants – Intense Dark, Dark, Milk, and White – offering unique flavors with high-quality cocoa and a creamy texture. Leveraging Cargill’s advanced DoMiReCo processing technology, these products ensure consistent high quality, meeting the expectations of Indian bakers. They boast a shelf life of 12-15 months and can be used in a variety of bakery and ice cream applications, from ganache to enrobing.
Additionally, Cargill showcased innovative food solutions, including Modified Starch for sauces and dressings like Tomato Ketchup and mayonnaise. Developed using Cargill’s continuous innovation capabilities, these modified starch solutions maintain viscosity throughout their shelf life, ensuring uniformity and resilience against acid and heat. The company also presented trans-fat-free premium bakery fats with applications in cookies, puffs, and cakes, available in three variants – Elite, Classic & Master under the NatureFresh Professional brand.
Alongside these offerings, Cargill presented an array of novel recipes, functional fats, and solutions for cakes, cookies, bread, Danish pastries, and peanut butter, focusing primarily on the bakery category. These applications were developed to exceed consumer demands for superior quality, flavor, and texture.
The booth attracted strong footfall amidst the launch of its chocolate products from the bakery and food industry. Cargill also showcased innovative recipes in Bakery and Convenience Food from its “BakeZone” at its Innovation Center in Gurgaon, using their differentiated ingredient products.
Simon George, President, Cargill India, and Managing Director of Food Solutions South Asia, expressed excitement about the opportunities ahead, emphasizing the company's commitment to creating safe, healthy, and innovative food solutions for the Indian market. Through AAHAR, Cargill aims to widen its reach to customers and provide comprehensive food solutions to meet their needs.
Cargill remains steadfast in its commitment to providing safe and quality products, investing in advanced manufacturing and refining equipment, and processes to ensure compliance with the highest standards of food safety regulations in the country. Recently, Cargill India received two CII Food Safety Awards 2023 for its food safety initiatives at its oil refinery plant in Kurkumbh, Maharashtra, and the sweeteners plant in Davangere, Karnataka.

Shao, the Pan-Asian restaurant at Radisson Blu Bengaluru Outer Ring Road, has unveiled a new à la carte menu by Chef Sitam Lama, marking the first full expression of the chef's culinary vision at the restaurant.
The new menu brings together flavours and culinary traditions from regional Chinese, Southeast Asian and Balinese cuisines, offering guests an expansive Pan-Asian dining experience within a single menu.
The selection begins with a range of vegetarian creations, including Crispy Spicy Tofu, tossed with chestnut, peanut and dried chilli, and Crunchy Assorted Mushroom, wok-tossed with five-spice, chilli, garlic and spring onion. The sushi selection also features vegetarian options such as Avocado Nigiri and Sweet Shiitake Nigiri.
The menu extends into comforting and aromatic preparations, including Chongqing Chicken Soup, a slow-cooked broth featuring Sichuan peppercorns, dried chillies and goji berries. The Balinese Chicken Satay combines hand-minced chicken with chargrilling and a lemongrass dip.
For diners seeking bolder flavours, the Sizzling Cumin Lamb combines toasted cumin with the heat of Sichuan peppercorns, while the Smoked Spicy Pork Belly with Bamboo Shoots is wok-tossed with the kitchen's own fermented chillies and garlic.
The Shanghai Chicken Dumpling, finished with truffle oil, provides a lighter option, while the Hunan Steamed Seabass, topped with pickled mustard and chilli, brings the savoury selection to a bold and tangy finish.
Across the menu, Chef Sitam Lama's approach focuses on premium ingredients, refined techniques and authentic regional flavours, while presenting familiar Asian culinary traditions through a contemporary restaurant setting.
The new menu debuted on 25 August 2026, giving guests an opportunity to experience Chef Lama's signature creations as Shao continues its culinary evolution.

Tacos Atarantados has introduced Cerveza Atarantados, its first signature beer in the United States, in collaboration with Miami-based Magic 13 Brewing Co. The Mexican-style light lager is now available exclusively at the restaurant's Wynwood and Brickell locations.
Created specifically to complement the restaurant's food menu, the 4.5% ABV lager features a crisp and refreshing profile designed to pair with Tacos Atarantados' signature tacos, trompo meats, and house-made salsas.
The collaboration brings together two Miami hospitality brands, combining Tacos Atarantados' Northern Mexican culinary traditions with Magic 13's local craft brewing expertise. The resulting beer has been created exclusively for the restaurant and is intended to become its signature pour.
Speaking about the launch, Jorge Guadiana, Corporate Chef and Co-Owner, Tacos Atarantados, said, "Hospitality has always been about creating experiences that feel authentic to who we are. We wanted a beer that naturally belonged on every table alongside our food. Partnering with Magic 13 allowed us to create something that reflects both our Monterrey roots and the incredible craft brewing community here in Miami."
Cerveza Atarantados has been developed to pair naturally with dishes such as tacos al pastor, grilled meats, and the restaurant's range of house-made salsas, while also being suited to enjoy on its own.
The signature beer is currently available for $8 at Tacos Atarantados' Wynwood and Brickell locations.
The launch adds another dimension to Tacos Atarantados' dining experience, further connecting its Northern Mexican culinary identity with Miami's growing food and craft beverage culture.

Led by Chef Jorge Guadiana, the brand has expanded to more than 16 locations across Mexico and the United States, combining traditional Mexican flavours with a contemporary hospitality approach.
