Ingredion Incorporated has added nine products to their other sweetener, texturizer and nutrition solutions that have achieved Non-GMO Project Verified status, bringing their total Non-GMO Project Verified ingredient solutions to 57.
The Non-GMO Project (www.nongmoproject.org) offers independent verification for products made according to rigorous best practices for GMO (genetically modified organisms) avoidance. These verified products are produced in compliance with the Non-GMO Project Standard, which means that ongoing testing of all GMO risk ingredients, facility inspections and an annual audit ensure Ingredion meets the highest standards currently available for GMO avoidance.
The following have been added to Ingredion’s growing list of Non-GMO Project Verified products:
This Non-GMO Project Verification underscores Ingredion’s TRUETRACE™ traceability program, which protects the purity of the company’s non-GMO offerings via, third-party-audited best practices for segregation and documentation of non-GMO corn.
“We are pleased to receive additional Non-GMO Project Verification, which adds another layer of trust to Ingredion’s long non-GMO track record and broad portfolio of ingredients,” said Igor Playner, Ingredion’s Vice President of Innovation and Strategy. “As consumer demand for non-GMO products continues to grow, manufacturers can respond with products made from our Non-GMO Project Verified ingredient solutions that meet consumer demand for clean and simple labels and deliver on the sensory experience, including taste, texture and sweetness; consumers expect, with the convenience and performance manufactures require.”
Ingredion manufactures its non-GMO maltodextrins in North America, which allows shorter lead times. The NOVATION functional starches enable food manufacturers to develop clean label foods that keep their indulgent textures following cold temperature storage. The starches offer a wide range of process tolerance and stability advantages in applications such as dressings, sauces, ready meals, yogurts and dairy desserts.
