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.

Roquette, a global leader in sustainable plant-based solutions, announces that its NUTRIOSE® soluble fibers that hold clinical evidence of health benefits have now also gained NutraStrong™ Prebiotic Verified product certification from SGS Nutrasource. This recognition reinforces Roquette’s commitment to science-backed nutrition, according to the company.
NutraStrong™ Prebiotic Verified, which is provided by the third-party certification body SGS NutraSource, is an industry-spanning program that validates the efficacy of prebiotic ingredients. By establishing clear benchmarks regarding manufacturing quality, label compliance and testing protocols, NutraStrong™ safeguards against misleading claims and ensures that only science-based products earn its seal of approval.
Through a rigorous evaluation process, NUTRIOSE® FM 06, NUTRIOSE® FB 06, and NUTRIOSE® FM 15S soluble fibers were found to meet stringent criteria set by SGS Nutrasource in quality manufacturing and science-based claims through clinical evidence to support prebiotic function.
Strong endorsement for plant-based prebiotic fibers
The NUTRIOSE® portfolio has been developed to help consumers increase their intake of this critical nutrient. NUTRIOSE® is a range of non-GMO corn or wheat soluble fibers with clinically proven health benefits and excellent digestive tolerance. With a neutral taste, high solubility, and outstanding process stability, NUTRIOSE® enables manufacturers an easy integration across food and beverages applications, without altering original tastes or textures.
Research shows that NUTRIOSE® promotes beneficial bacteria in the gut and modulates the gut environment.1,2,3,4 Moreover, NUTRIOSE® has demonstrated microbiota-related health benefits such as blood glucose management, satiety, weight management and sustained energy release.5 More recent studies demonstrate initial evidence around immune health and mental wellbeing. Roquette has 25 years of scientific expertise in the fiber field, supported by more than 26 clinical studies and over 30 preclinical studies.
Feeding consumer appetite for fiber-fortified food
Consumers are increasingly interested in fibers and prebiotics in food and beverages, largely due to their associated gut health benefits. Consumers see gut health as a gateway to holistic wellness, with 59 %6 of them believing gut health is important for the entire body. Moreover, awareness about prebiotics is growing: 64 % of people globally have heard of them – with over half of those (52 %) having purchased prebiotic products in the last twelve months.7 As such, investment in fiber-focused innovations is expected to significantly grow over the coming years.
The NutraStrong™ Prebiotic Verified product certification applies to NUTRIOSE® FM 06, NUTRIOSE® FB 06, and NUTRIOSE® FM 15S, which are also all low-FODMAP certified and non-GMO Project Verified.
