Taiyo, Minneapolis, MN, has expanded the GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status of its partially hydrolyzed guar gum (PHGG) through an independent panel of scientific experts. The expansion gives food and beverage manufacturers the freedom to add this ingredient, marketed as Sunfiber, to an even broader variety of consumer-friendly foods at a usage level limited only by cGMP. Sunfiber is an all-natural, soluble dietary fiber that has been clinically shown to help lower glycemic index, improve mineral absorption and maintain digestive health.
