Food & Beverage Solutions use smart technology or intellectual property to develop innovative ingredients and solutions for customers globally that meet consumer demand for great tasting, healthier food and drink. Our customers value our technical and innovation expertise, insight and flexibility.

We work across the following platforms in this market:

• Sweeteners – which help reduce sugar and calories.  Products include high intensity sweeteners (e.g. SPLENDA^® Sucralose) and speciality sweeteners (e.g. KRYSTAR^® Crystalline Fructose, DOLCIA PRIMA^® Allulose).
• Texturants – which provide key functionality such as thickening, shelf stability and fat reduction. Products include corn-based starches (e.g. REZISTA^®), clean-label starches (e.g. CLARIA^®) and our range of stabiliser systems.
• Wellness ingredients – including fibres and proteins. Products include dietary fibres (e.g. PROMITOR® Soluble Fibre, PromOat® Beta Glucan, STA-LITE® Polydextrose), and oat protein

You’ll find our ingredients in products of most of the world’s top and most innovative food and beverage companies. We work in partnership with our customers, large and small, to develop unique, high-quality ingredients and solutions to meet consumer needs.

Primary Products are all fairly similar and include products such as high fructose, corn syrup and acidulants. They are largely sold in markets where customers value supplier reliability, quality and value.

Tate & Lyle have sold starches to the paper and board industry, ethanol to the fuel industry and acidulants to household goods manufacturers for many years.

We have also developed bio-products such as Bio-PDO™, an ingredient commonly used in textiles and plastics.

Farmers and manufacturers of feed for livestock, fish and pets are important customers for the by-products of our production processes. By products such as corn gluten meal and corn gluten feed are sold to many customers in Europe and the Americas and help us to reduce the net cost of our raw materials.

A smaller market for Tate & Lyle, we expect pharmaceutical and personal care to grow in future but to stay relatively small in terms of the proportion of our total sales.

We currently sell two speciality ingredients to this market: Zemea™ for cosmetics and creams through our joint venture DuPont Tate & Lyle BioProducts and SPLENDA^® Sucralose (for oral care products and to sweeten low calorie medicines).
