Malt Products Corporation (MPC), a manufacturer of malted barley extract and other natural, nutritious sweeteners, has incorporated a state-of-the-art brewing module at its primary manufacturing facility in Dayton, Ohio.

Oats Overnight launched in 2016 with three classic flavors made with custom whey protein, including Green Apple Cinnamon, Strawberries & Cream, and Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana.

To make the convenient meal, consumers are asked to a 8 ounces of milk or milk alternative (unsweetened almond milk is recommended) to the packet of oats, shake in the blender bottle, and refrigerate overnight for a ready-to-enjoy, drinkable breakfast in the morning.

Malted barley extract has become an increasingly attractive option for food and beverage manufacturers when compared with standard sugars or artificial substitutes.

The new nutritionally complete fresh bar will entice a variety of savory to sweet palates in six flavors - Lemon Poppy Seed, Coconut Cashew Mango, Peanut Butter, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Blueberry Banana Almond and Dark Chocolate Cherry.

Completion of the transaction will take place on March 29, 2019.

Seeds and grains may be small in size—but they drive some large food and beverage trends. That's all because consumers are increasingly aware of the nutritional properties of seeds and grains (and, in particular, ancient grains).

General Mills and South Dakota State University (SDSU) announced the opening of a state-of-the-art oat variety development lab on the Brookings campus. The Oats Research Laboratory will focus on advancing the sustainability and quality of oats in the US.
