NotCheese™ plant-based cheddar slices

End-to-end product innovation

CHALLENGE
Reduce the production cost of Kraft’s plant-based cheddar cheese slices without compromising taste.
APPROACH
Optimizing for cost without sacrificing taste meant rethinking the formula from the inside out. With Giuseppe AI Elevate we identified the most cost-effective ingredient ratios, fine-tuned flavor balance, and landed on a winning formulation in record time—what once took years, now took weeks.
REsult
A complete success! We engineered a formula that reduced costs by 13% without compromising the signature taste and texture that made it a fan favorite.
