MSP Starch Products recently received a Master File acceptance from Health Canada for its Solnul resistant potato starch, establishing it as a prebiotic ingredient for natural health products.
The approval came after a review by Health Canada, evaluating its potential to positively impact gut health, and establishes credibility for the ingredient for international brands, allowing them to roll out a single formulation across multiple countries with similar claims at the same 3.5 gram dose, the company reported.
Research on Solnul found that, at 3.5 grams, the ingredient produced a prebiotic effect, validating the ingredient at a first-of-its-kind low-dose prebiotic resistant starch.
Health Canada has approved of the claims “Prebiotic” and “Helps stimulate the growth of healthy bacteria (such as bifidobacteria) in the intestine/gut.”
"This is a big win for resistant starch and for Canada. Getting Health Canada's approval is not just a great business achievement; it's also really meaningful to us. There's something special about selling right here at home, where we can directly support the health and well-being of Canadians while working toward our goal of bringing resistant starch back into modern diets," said Jason Leibert, chief growth officer at MSP Starch Products, Inc. “We’re really excited for Canada to tap into the momentum that’s been growing around Solnul over the past few years in places like Australia and the U.S.”
