Two Ingredion dietary fibers receive Low FODMAP Certification from Monash University
The certified fibers are Versafibe 1940 and Novelose 3490.
Ingredion Incorporated, Westchester, Ill., a provider of ingredient solutions to diversified industries, said that two of its dietary fibers, Versafibe 1490 and Novelose 3490, were recognized by Melbourne, Australia-based Monash University as Low FODMAP (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols) Certified products in the United States. Products that receive this certification are licensed to use the official Monash University Low FODMAP Diet badge — making it easier for manufacturers and consumers to identify ingredients and products that are part of a low-FODMAP diet.
FODMAPs are short-chain carbohydrates commonly found in American diets. Certain foods containing FODMAPs can trigger occasional digestive discomfort, including gas, bloating and altered bowel habits. According to the Monash University website, a low-FODMAP diet can be an effective way to help manage digestive wellness.
