With Clear Valley omega-3 shortening, omega-3s can now be easily added into a wide range of baked goods. Cargills omega-3 shortening was designed to help customers create great-tasting products that also qualify for nutrient content claims on the package. Were helping bakers innovate and grow by connecting with consumer demand for more omega-3s." said Willie Loh, vice president of marketing, Cargill Oils & Shortenings.
