Explore certified organic ingredient solutions and partner with dedicated guides to achieve consumer-preferred organic food and beverage labels.
Drive appeal with organic claims
“Organic” is more than a buzzword; consumers perceive organic products to have been made responsibly, sustainably and safely.
As "natural" claims proliferate, today's consumers have become more skeptical about their credibility — and look to organic certifications such as USDA Organic as the gold standard of trust, traceability and transparency in their foods. But delivering the eating experiences and organic label claims consumers seek has challenges, from recipe development and processing hurdles to extracting the consumer insights that matter most.
When you partner with Ingredion, we can make your formulation goals a reality and help you create delicious, consumer-preferred organic foods with optimal sensory appeal. Here’s how Ingredion can help you get the most value and return from your organic investment:
