Ingredion's carrot fibre wins EU approval

Ingredion received EU approval for Benicaros SF Pure P, a carrot fibre, allowing its sale in the EU from July 2026. The fibre is plant-based, low-dose, and designed for use in foods, beverages, and supplements without affecting taste or texture. Ingredion acquired Benicaros in June 2026, positioning the ingredient as part of its focus on science-backed nutrition. The EU approval could boost adoption among European formulators.
