A natural ingredient with multiple functionalities
Nutritional improvement
VitaFiber® IMO offers manufacturers the opportunity to improve the nutritional profile of their products, and to obtain the following nutritional claims:
"Source of fiber": product with at least 3 g of fibre per 100 g or 1.5 g of fibre per 100 kcal.
"High fiber": product with at least 6 g of fibre per 100 g or 3 g of fibre per 100 kcal.
"Reduced in sugar" / "low in sugar": product whose sugar content has been reduced by at least 30% compared to a similar product.
Today, nutritional labelling and the various messages displayed are increasingly valued by food companies in order to reassure consumers and to differentiate themselves on the nutritional level.
VitaFiber® IMO is also an effective way to improve the "Nutri-Score".
Its use allows to progress by 1 or even 2 levels, thanks to its combined action on the fiber content, sugars and energy value.
The Eurospechim team also offers to help you in these steps !
