MANCHESTER, UNITED KINGDOM -- (4 December 2008) - D.D. Williamson, Europe's largest manufacturer of caramel colour, introduces its organic burnt sugar to the European market. Organic applications include flavourings, baked goods, dessert toppings, sauces, spirits, coffee drinks, cereals, and pet foods.
European food and beverage processors can use the new product for contributing flavour to applications that contain 70 to 100 percent certified organic agricultural ingredients. The Soil Association (SA), whose symbol is the UK's most recognisable and trusted organic mark, accepts D.D. Williamson's certification by Quality Assurance International (QAI). The SA's approval ensures the D.D. Williamson organic burnt sugar satisfies the requirements of SA organic standards, as well as European regulation (EEC) 2092/91.
"We're pleased to offer this new liquid in response to requests from our burnt sugar and caramel colour customers in Europe," said Graham Merryweather, Vice President, Global Sales. "Europe has the world's largest market for organic foods, and the retail growth rate for organic foods has outpaced that for food overall," added Merryweather.
