Z Trim Holdings, Inc., Mundelein, IL, has been approved by FDA for the labeling of Z Trim products in meat applications. Specifically, FDA has approved the use of Z Trim ingredients in ground, emulsified and processed meats and poultry. These ingredients aim to help food processors lower their costs while improving finished product performance for consumers. For example, when a small percentage of Z Trim corn fiber is added to a ground beef formula, the Z Trim will bind the juices, fats and seasonings, thereby enhancing flavor, texture and yield. Further, it will prevent oil separation during cooking, reduce shrinkage and give the finished product a better appearance.
