EHL Ingredients Expands Gluten-free Range

EHL Ingredients has expanded its range of certified gluten-free herbs and spices in response to increasing consumer demand for free-from food products. It will now offer 20 new ingredients that have been tested and certified as gluten-free, following the launching of gluten-free ground cumin and coriander launched last year.

Ingredients in the new gluten-free range include dried ground turmeric, cassia, star anise, oregano, ginger, chili, coriander seed, paprika and nutmeg. Herbs such as dried parsley, sage, basil and pepper have also been added to the list – for bakers and food manufacturers to add to formulations and recipes for savory baked goods, international breads, flavored crackers, oatcakes and snacks, and prepared mixes.

Kath Davies, new product development manager at EHL Ingredients, says: “Many herbs and spices are gluten-free in themselves, but this is not always sufficient; a guarantee that there has not been any cross-contamination in the supply chain is also required. Our new gluten-free range offers the bakery industry quality, versatile ingredients to create traditional favorites and novel dishes, breads and snacks for consumers to enjoy.”
