Tate & Lyle PLC, a global leader in ingredient solutions for healthier food and beverages, has received NutraStrong™ Prebiotic Verified certification for four product lines within its leading prebiotic fibre portfolio, recognising the strength of its science-led approach to prebiotic fibre innovation.
Tate & Lyle is a member of the Global Prebiotic Association (GPA). GPA recognises and endorses the standards offered by the global NutraStrong™ Prebiotic Verified programme.
The certification provides independent, third-party verification against recognised scientific criteria. It is designed to recognise ingredient brands that meet rigorous standards for scientific substantiation, quality and transparency. It covers Tate & Lyle’s PROMITOR® Soluble Fibre, STA-LITE® Polydextrose, EUOLIGO® FOS and GOSYAN® GOS product ranges.
Tate & Lyle’s fibre portfolio is supported by a strong body of scientific evidence. For example, PROMITOR® Soluble Fibre alone is backed by more than 20 scientific studies and there are hundreds of studies across the full breadth of the portfolio. NutraStrong™ certification builds on this foundation, providing customers with independent verification of the quality and scientific substantiation behind Tate & Lyle’s prebiotic fibre solutions.
The verification process included:
- Product specification and analytical review
- Confirmation of ingredient dosage supporting a prebiotic claim (including at least one randomised, controlled trial demonstrating microbiome modulation and a resulting health benefit)
- Verification of laboratory and manufacturer accreditation.
The certified ingredients support a range of substantiated benefit areas, from digestive health to mineral absorption for bone health, cognitive function, immunity, glycaemic control and satiety1.
As demand for fibre-enriched and gut health-supporting products continues to grow, this certification gives customers added confidence in using Tate & Lyle’s fibre solutions across a wide range of applications, from beverages, dairy and bakery to snacks, cereals, bars and supplements.
