In terms of snacking, Glanbia Nutritionals will offer probiotic and omega-3 tortilla chips formulated with Ganeden BC30™ a shelf-stable probiotic that supports digestive health and immune system maintenance. For enhanced textural and visual appeal, the tortilla chips will also be prepared with SelectGrad® Cracked Flax LW Brown Flaxseed, which also offers an excellent and stable source of omega-3 nutrition. The tortilla chips prototype will be complemented by an antioxidant salsa containing pTeroPure®, a powerful, nature-identical antioxidant for overall health benefits.
