Tate & Lyle and Lipid Nutrition announced that they have entered into an exclusive new partnership. Tate & Lyle will develop new ENRICH™ ingredient systems for soups, sauces and dressings which incorporate Lipid Nutrition’s PinnoThin™ pine nut oil, Clarinol™ conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and Marinol™ fish oils and powders. The agreement means that Tate & Lyle will have the exclusive rights to market PinnoThin™, Clarinol™ and Marinol™ in Europe, the Middle East and Africa in the soups, sauces and dressings category. In return Lipid Nutrition will gain access to Tate & Lyle’s technical knowledge, applications support and extensive customer base in this category.

Tate & Lyle ENRICH™ was launched as part of Tate & Lyle’s CORE™ offering earlier this year, to enable food and beverage manufacturers to create products that are packed with additional nutrients but taste as good as regular brands. The service focuses on three main areas - Digestive Health and Immunity, Obesity and Weight Management and Children’s Health.

James Blunt, Tate & Lyle’s Product Management Director Europe, said, “Our partnership with Lipid Nutrition is an exciting development for Tate & Lyle’s ENRICH™ service and our health and wellness platform overall. PinnoThin™ and Clarinol™ will be incorporated in ENRICH™ systems for obesity and weight management. Marinol™ will be used in our ENRICH™ concepts for children’s health and in time may open up opportunities in areas such as heart health. Our R&D teams have already started to develop a range of ENRICH™ prototypes with these ingredients. This means more choice for our customers and enables them to develop consumer products with a health proposition targeted to specific market segments.”

We are delighted to be working with Tate & Lyle and believe this partnership can give a huge boost to the market,” said John Kurstjens, Lipid Nutrition’s Global Marketing Manager. “Lipid Nutrition holds a leadership position with these ingredients for dietary supplements and functional foods, and this partnership provides us with a great opportunity to further extend the application areas for our innovative products.”

The first product prototype to be developed through the new partnership - Soup ENRICH™ - will be showcased at Food Ingredients Europe later this month.
