12 Jun 2019 --- One year after the US Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) guidance, which identified eight specific fibers as dietary fibers, the industry is bound to see a boom in NPD in the space, according to Jon Peters, President at Beneo Inc. Speaking to FoodIngredientsFirst at last week’s IFT Food Expo in New Orleans, US, Peters noted that after the regulatory update, several companies had to take a step back and consider how their fiber ingredients could be reformulated to fit into the market. “A lot of companies had to wait to see what would happen and what the regulatory changes meant, but I think there are products that will launch shortly in the space,” Peters highlights.
