Birkin Weith, business manager of leavening products at Innophos, welcomed the approval in Canada.
“With Cal-Rise, we are able to offer an excellent solution for baked good producers to economically reduce sodium content without affecting the consumer’s perception of taste,” Weith said.
The ingredient was commercialised in over 20 new products in 2011 across the US, Europe and Asia Pacific markets in baking powders, pancakes, waffles, cake mixes, tortillas and crackers.
