A Healthier Solution to lower Saturated Fats in Packaged Foods
In Canada, over 27% of the population experiences obesity, with even higher prevalence among Indigenous and marginalized communities—a critical health trend mirrored worldwide. As projections suggest that by 2035, over half the global population could be overweight, finding alternatives to traditional, high-saturated-fat ingredients is imperative. With Canada mandating saturated fat labeling by 2026, the need for healthier, sustainable alternatives like 0Fat™ has never been greater.
The Fiber-Based Innovation of 0Fat™
0Fat™ is a carbohydrate-based, plant-derived fat replacer made from chia mucilage and konjac glucomannan. These high-viscosity, non-toxic fibers mimic the texture, mouthfeel, and stability of traditional fats while offering a significant reduction in calories and saturated fat. 0Fat™ works effectively in spreads, margarine, and baked goods, delivering a cleaner label and improved health profile.
Key Applications of 0Fat™
0Fat™’s versatility allows it to be used in a wide range of food products, including:
- Spreads & Condiments: A sustainable substitute for palm oil in products like hazelnut spreads and salad dressings.
- Plant-Based Cheeses: Providing creaminess and fat texture in dairy alternatives without the need for saturated fats.
- Meat Alternatives: Used in emulsion gels, it replicates the mouthfeel of animal fats in plant-based meats.
Commitment to Sustainability
Beyond its health benefits, 0Fat™ supports sustainable food systems. By reducing reliance on palm oil, 0Fat™ minimizes environmental impact while enhancing ingredient sustainability. Our collaborations with local partners enable byproduct upcycling, such as reusing demucilaged chia seeds in high-fiber foods.
