LCI Obtains Organic Certification for Cereal-Based Micro Pellet Product
30 July 2013 --- Limagrain Céréales Ingrédients (LCI) has just obtained the French AB Organic certification for one of its cereal-based micro pellet products.
The market for puffed cakes, using pellets to expand them without the need for fat, is being revolutionised,” explains Patricia Panel-Dusséaux, Marketing Manager at LCI. “From products very focussed on nutrition a few years ago, the ranges have expanded with potato and multi-cereal pellets. Hence, a large number of markets - including snacks, breakfast cereals and diet products - now include puffed cakes, and these are always appreciated for their light texture and flexibility in terms of shape.
“LCI has been producing maize, cereal, multi cereal and potato-based micro pellets for several years. The growing demand from the organic micro pellet diet and nutritional markets for new multi-cereal products that are more enjoyable has been a real challenge and is one that we have now met,” she comments.
