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​​​​​

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.
