Ingredion Incorporated, Westchester, IL, has published a new fact sheet entitled “Non-GMO Ingredients - Move to the forefront of the non-GMO trend with Ingredion.”
The publication discusses Ingredion’s portfolio of non-GMO ingredients for the food and beverage industry, including:
· Sweeteners – Reb A stevia, glucose, dextrose, maltodextrin, HFCS and polyols
· Texturizers – Cook-up and instant starches from maize, tapioca, potato, rice and sago
· Nutritional ingredients – a range of fibers, minerals and whole grain
The backbone of the company’s non-GMO program is its TRUETRACE process and enrollment in the Non-GMO Project verification system. Since 2004, Ingredion’s TRUETRACEprogram has protected non-GMO purity via global, third-party-audited best practices for segregation and documentation of non-GMO maize. In addition to the company’s maize-based products, the broad array of ingredients includes products for which GM versions do not exist, e.g., tapioca, or imports from affiliates in countries that ban production of GM crops.
“Ingredion has always believed in giving its customers a choice”, said James P. Zallie, executive vice president, Global Specialties and president, North America and EMEA. “With the growing interest in non-GMO consumer goods, we feel the time is right to communicate to the industry the strong depth and breadth of Ingredion’s non-GMO ingredients portfolio. Our experienced staff of formulators and culinologists is available to work with our customers in nearly every segment of the food and beverage industry to apply our non-GMO ingredients to their applications.”
