Ingredient Declaration for a humectant powder
Hello all,
I am in need of youur help.
We are using a humctant powder in our cookies for stability. It also adds shelf life but we are not using it for that function.
The ingredient declaration is as follows:
Humectant powder (rice syrup, grape juice concentrate, vegetable fiber)
In Canada, do I need to group the rice syrup and grape juice concentrate as sugars in the component declaration?
(i.e Humectant powder (Sugars [rice syrup, grape juice concentrate], vegetable fiber)
Also, do I need to state humectant powder? or can I just list the components into my ingredient declaration.
Any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
KBMB
It's not required to state grouped sugars - but it wouldn't do any harm if you do it. Only one of our customers (Loblaw) requires that - others are ok with regular statements.
Also, you ca list the components of humectant powder in your ingredient declaration.
We have a customer who exports to Canada, and have this guide on hand to use when labeling products with sugar in them for Canada. It may help.
