The innovation.

Products from our Verdad® portfolio of ferments can appear on labels as simple, understandable ingredients such as fermented sugar, vinegar (powder), sea salt, celery powder or pea protein. Our Verdad® ingredients, made by fermentation of sugar, suppress the growth of pathogens and spoilage bacteria. They significantly extend the shelf life by improving the safety and freshness of meat products. Using our Verdad® ingredients reduces sodium which is a benefit for our health.

The benefits.

Our Verdad® ingredients are natural ingredients and preserve meat by extending shelf life and food safety, which helps in reducing food waste. Over 20% of the meat produced annually is lost or wasted. In 2021, Corbion’s solutions for meat preservation helped to preserve >5 million tons of meat globally. Next to reducing food waste, reducing global meat waste also prevents millions of tons of CO2 emissions.
