RIBUS To Showcase Clean-Label Ingredients At SSW Expo

ST. LOUISRIBUS, Inc.,will showcase its non-GMO, natural, organic and gluten-free rice-based ingredients for global producers in the food, beverage and dietary supplement sectors at the 2013 SupplySide West Global Expo & Conference, Nov. 14-15, in Las Vegas.

RIBUS global sales of Nu-RICE®, Nu-BAKE®, Nu-FLOW® and Nu-FLAC® rice extracts and rice concentrates have increased consistently in recent years despite changes in both U.S. and global markets. Strict regulations and global consumer interest in non-GMO, organic, gluten-free, natural, kosher, hypoallergenic and vegan products have fueled the growth.

Consumers are more educated about ingredients and are looking for clean, easy-to-read labels," said Steve Peirce, co-founder and president, RIBUS. The company's products can be used in a variety of clean-label applications.

RIBUS organic ingredients comply with new regulations set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) earlier this year to limit the amount on synthetics used in organic products.
