Tate & Lyle launches fiber line in US

Tate & Lyle introduced its new line of branded fiber ingredients to the US market, claiming the ingredients can help food and beverage manufacturers add fiber to 'everyday' products.

Bonnie - The ingredients can also devastate many people's digestive systems.


Promitor Resistant Starch (from corn starch) and Promitor Soluble Corn Fiber are the two products.

The resistant starch product is designed to replace flour and can be used in baked products and snacks, including cereal, crackers, cookies, bread and pasta. The corn fiber product replaces sugar in product applications, and can be used in foods and beverages ranging from cereal coatings, soup and sauces to jams, fillings, confectionery and dairy products.

Bonnie - not surprising that this comes from the makers of (sucralose) Splenda. For corn-sensitive individuals, you may as well be giving them poison. While their intentions may be honorable, the end result is disappointing, yet typical.
