CENTENNIAL, Colo. - Penford Food Ingredients is taking aim at the growing demand for clean label ingredients with its PenPure portfolio of clean label starches, the company announced.
These clean label starches are not chemically treated and are familiar to consumers when listed on the ingredient statement, Penford said. Offered in a variety of formulations with potato, corn, rice and tapioca bases, the PenPure line offers multiple functional benefits in applications ranging from soup to tortillas. This portfolio is comprised of cook-up and instant viscosity starches, as well as starch gels.
"The desire for clean label food ingredients is growing at an exponential rate," said John Randall, president, Penford Food Ingredients. "Consumers are reading labels closely in the grocery aisle. They want food to contain ingredients they recognize. PenPure products are a great option for manufacturers because they are versatile and cost effective. This keeps the price low for the end consumer while still offering important clean label benefits."
The PenPure portfolio of products can function individually or in customized blends which is the case with gluten-free products, the company said.
