The EU’s Artificial Smoke Ban + Sugar Reduction Technologies
Manage episode 428354891 series 2900041
The European Union (EU) recently introduced a ban on eight artificial smoke flavorings used in various food products. This move is part of an effort to protect public health from potential cancer risks associated with these additives. In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney talks about the ban, which was endorsed by member states in April 2024 following scientific research indicating harmful chemicals in smoke flavorings. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) found that smoky flavorings can contain harmful chemicals formed during the smoking process. These chemicals, found in both natural and artificial smoke flavorings, have been linked to an increased risk of cancer. While some companies believe the ban will cause economic harm, others are embracing it as an opportunity to reformulate. The team wonders whether the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will take note of this ban and implement similar regulations in the US.
Also in this episode, Sydney talks about various sugar reduction technologies that meet consumer demands for healthier food and beverages. Consumers are becoming more health-conscious, driven by a desire to avoid the negative health impacts associated with high sugar consumption, such as obesity and diabetes. As a result, food manufacturers are under pressure to find effective sugar reduction solutions to meet this demand. Brands that can successfully reduce sugar in their products without compromising on taste are gaining a competitive edge in the market. Several companies, both large and small, are making strides in the field of sugar reduction solutions, including Better Juice, Ingredion, DouxMatok, SweeGen and Tate & Lyle. The team discusses the potential of reduced sugar crops and the perception around low-sugar foods.
