Innovation in Clean Label ingredients
Our NOVATION® functional starches began the clean label movement over two decades ago. Our pioneering work meant you could get the texture and stability of a modified starch but with a simpler ingredient listing of maize starch ("corn flour” in the UK). Since then, we’ve broadened our clean label portfolio to include starches of all types, flours and pulses. When you work with us to bring clean labels to market, you benefit from years of experience and leading-edge achievements in clean label innovation.
