Sugarcane prebiotic made available in supply agreement
Tismor, a contract manufacturer in the Australasian and global health and wellness sector, will be offering Kfibre as an ingredient after it signed a supply agreement with its producer, Health Food Symmetry (HFS).
Kfibre is a sugarcane-based prebiotic additive that, as HFS claims, offers various health benefits including increasing gut biome health, providing support for weight management and reducing constipation; it is also low FODMAP certified. With the agreement, Tismor’s clients will have the option of using the prebiotic in their manufactured foods.
Kevin Williams, Sales Manager of Tismor, said: “Globally there is a shortage of key ingredients that are required for premium health and wellness products, and it is common knowledge that manufacturing on a global level is suffering from supply chain issues... This new partnership with Health Food Symmetry will allow us to keep a sovereign domestic supply of a key ingredient for our manufacturing schedules.
“Furthermore, we believe Kfibre has the ability to disrupt this category, being Australian grown and manufactured, whilst being fully backed by clinical trials. We see Kfibre as a fantastic offering to our customers as an ingredient to boost the effectiveness of their products via our industry-renowned New Product Development process, run out of our Tismor Creative Centre.”
Gordon Edwards, the CEO of HFS, said: “We look forward to supplying Tismor with Kfibre now and long into the future.”
