Tate & Lyle Extends Clean-Label Portfolio with the
launch of CLARIA® Bliss Tapioca-Based Starch in
Europe, Middle East & Africa
Extension to the line will enable manufacturers to formulate products
with cleaner labels in line with consumer demand, while maintaining
excellent taste, texture, colour and performance.

Tate & Lyle PLC (“Tate & Lyle”), a leading global
provider of speciality food ingredients and solutions,
has announced the introduction of its tapioca-based
CLARIA® Bliss starch to the Europe, Middle East &
Africa (EMEA) region, responding to growing demand
from consumers for cleaner label products.
   An extension to the line of CLARIA® Functional
Clean-Label Starches, the launch of CLARIA® Bliss
in EMEA follows its debut at the Institute of Food
Technologists Food Expo in Chicago last year.
   CLARIA® Bliss has functionalities like modified
tapioca starches and can help manufacturers
develop high quality and great tasting products. With
tolerance to shear, heat and acid, even under extreme
conditions like ultra-high temperatures (UHT) and
homogenisation, CLARIA® Bliss makes it easier than
ever for food manufacturers to develop products with
cleaner labels and differentiated texture.
   Its launch follows market research from Innova that
shows the number of food products defined as clean-
label sharply increased in Europe in categories such
as chilled desserts (+54%) or ready meals (+39%)
between 2014 and 2016 .
   Yves Maltête, VP Global Product Management,
Texturants at Tate & Lyle, said: “At a time when 86%
of European consumers regard food and beverages
as processed if they contain ingredients they don’t
recognise , CLARIA® Bliss can help manufacturers
maintain great taste in their products. It will also allow
them to simplify their ingredient list in a variety of
applications, including delicate dairy desserts, clear
sauces, chilled ready meals or filling of fresh baked
goods.”
   CLARIA® Bliss delivers on the growing tapioca-
based starch trend, which has seen launches of
products including tapioca ingredients increasing
on average by 25% each year since 2010. Tapioca
is popular among manufacturers and consumers
for its clean flavour and colour, soft gel texture and
non-GMO and gluten free attributes. CLARIA® Bliss
thickens and sets to form a soft, translucent gel that is
especially desirable in applications like a dairy custard
or in speciality sauces.
   Yves Maltête continued: “There is an enormous
opportunity for our customers around the world
to simplify ingredient lists and take advantage of
demand for cleaner labelled products. We want to
partner with our customers to help them meet these
challenges, and retain their competitive edge locally
and globally. With our expanded CLARIA® line now
including CLARIA® Bliss, it’s easier than ever to make
that a reality.”
