Adding simplicity to the mix

To reflect continued changes in consumer views, the evolved clean label definition has been joined by a "simple label" definition — defined as having all the characteristics of clean label, plus:

  • Only made with ingredients that are highly accepted and expected by consumers in the specific food or beverage
  • Uses minimal number of ingredients to conform to culinary standards or traditional or authentic recipes
  • May include trade-offs to achieve simplicity (e.g., visual appeal, texture, shelf life) 

Evolving meanings and expanding options

As the clean label movement has become mainstream, its meaning has expanded into consumer desires for sustainability, plant-based foods, low sugar, low-calorie options and ingredients known to promote good health.

In turn, we've grown our broader capabilities to help you deliver on these demands — including extending our core clean label texturiser lineups with exciting new options including:

  • Functional organic starches and flours made of corn, tapioca, rice and potato
  • An ever-expanding toolbox of pulse-based ingredients
