In its ongoing efforts to help better inform customers and consumers about starch based ingredients, how they are produced, where and why they are used in final food and drink products and how they are labelled, Starch Europe today published product factsheets on starch, glucose syrups, glucose fructose syrups and maltodextrins. These will be widely distributed at every relevant opportunity. Here are links to the factsheets.
In late 2023, the European Commission is due to publish its proposal for a legislative framework on sustainable food systems (FSFS). This proposal, once adopted, will likely provide the framework for a multitude of specific actions to help promote a sustainable food system going forward for years to come. It is of paramount importance to get that right.
This paper aims to demonstrate the substantial contribution so far of the EU starch industry to a sustainable food system, as well as what core needs our sector has for that contribution to continue, and even increase.
