What is clean label?

The Ingredion de​finition of clean label is based on customer and consumer insights, products should be:

  • Free from additives: remove or replace food additives
  • Feature a simple ingredient listing: choose recognisable ingredients that do not sound chemical or artificial
  • Minimally processed: process foods using traditional techniques that are understood by consumers and ​not perceived as being artificial​​​​​

NOVATION ENDURA® 0100 STARCH

NOVATION ENDURA® 0100 functional native starch offers the highest process tolerance ever available, as well as maximum stability in clean label product formulations. This clean label starch can help food producers to create high quality, no-compromise products that fulfil the simple ingredient listings consumers want.

NOVATION ENDURA® 0100 starch enables food manufacturers to create a wider range of appealing, additive-free and natural food products, including yoghurts, dairy desserts, fruit preparations, sauces and salad dressings.
