Innophos Launches Clean-Label Whitening Alternative to Titanium Dioxide
Overview
Innophos, a leading innovator in specialty phosphates, proudly announces the launch of VersaCal® Bright—a science-backed, clean-label solution that delivers the whiteness and brightness of titanium dioxide (TiO₂), with the added benefit of essential nutrients. This launch follows the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's recent approval of Innophos' petition to use calcium phosphate as a safe color additive in specific food categories, marking a significant regulatory milestone for food manufacturers.
Innophos' new VersaCal® Bright has been approved for use in donut sugar, sugar for coated candies, white candy melts, and ready-to-eat chicken products—offering a safe, effective alternative to TiO₂ in response to growing consumer and regulatory concerns.
