Legislation and labeling
Trehalose is approved in over 40 countries worldwide and is in particular approved under the EU Novel Food regulation and the Joint Committee on Food Additives of the World Health Organization/Food and Agricultural Organization (JECFA of WHO/FAO).
We recommend including Treha™ as "trehalose" in the ingredient declaration on the labels of finished foods and beverages.
A footnote is required as follows – “trehalose is a source of glucose”.
Some Cargill products are only approved for use in certain geographies, end uses, and/or at certain usage levels. It is the customer's responsibility to determine, for a particular geography, that (i) the Cargill product, its use and usage levels, (ii) the customer's product and its use, and (iii) any claims made about the customer's product, all comply with applicable laws and regulations.
