US-based ingredient firm Z Trim has announced that the FDA has approved the labeling of Z Trim products in meat applications. With this decision, the FDA has cleared the use of Z Trim ingredients in ground, emulsified, and processed meats and poultry.
The company noted that in meat and poultry applications, Z Trim ingredients can help food processors to significantly lower their costs while improving finished product performance for consumers.
Z Trim Sales and Applications VP Lynda Carroll said that Z Trim ingredients are positioned to help the meat and poultry industry deliver healthier, better quality finished foods for consumers.
"We've already made significant progress testing Z Trim in meat applications with a number of major processors, and now that we have FDA labeling approval, expect to achieve substantial sales to this market segment in short order," Carroll added.
Z Trim engages in the manufacture, marketing, and sale of functional food ingredients in the US and internationally. The company's all-natural products are intended to help to reduce fat and calories, add fiber, provide shelf-stability, prevent oil migration, and add binding capacity.
