Many Dow products, including the ones below, are Halal-certified and may be used in support of “derived from natural sources”, “heart health” and “allergen-free” label claims in baked goods, meats, sauces and snacks:
METHOCEL MX Fat Replacement Technology offers excellent juicy and succulent mouthfeel for low-fat meat and bakery products. METHOCEL MX also enables formulators to use healthier liquid oils, such as olive or canola.
FORTEFIBER Soluble Dietary Fiber is clinically proven to help maintain healthy blood glucose and cholesterol levels. FORTEFIBER is non-fermentable and is suitable for use in confectionery (chews) and baked goods (biscuits, bars).
CLEAR+STABLE Cellulose Gum provides excellent clarity in beverages at low pH, enables stable viscosity during shelf life and improved protein protection properties.
“Prepared foods and snacks fit todays busy lifestyles, but formulators strive to make them healthier – and still taste good,” said Stephanie Lynch, global marketing manager for Dows Food & Nutrition business. “Our plant-derived products deliver the health and sensory benefits that consumers want, while giving formulators the ingredient efficiency they may need in todays market.”
