NutrAwards Go to Fruitflow & Good Cacao

DSM Nutritional Products, Parsippany, NJ, has received the 2011 NutrAward for best new ingredient for its Fruitflow water-soluble tomato-based product. Fruitflow received approval for an Article 13.5 health claim in Europe, which says the ingredient helps reduce platelet aggregation and “contributes to a healthy blood flow.” The NutrAward for best finished product went to Good Cacao, a functional chocolate bar that contains several nutraceuticals, including the patented probiotic Ganeden BC30, Cognis’ Heart Choice, Fuji’s AstaREAL, Martek’s life’sDHA, and Wellmune WGP from Biothera.
