Fiber Enrichment: Many foods contain fiber but not enough to be labelled a good or excellent source of fiber. Insoluble fibers, such as SunOpta's oat, pea, and soy fiber, have very high fiber contents and can be used to increase a food's total dietary fiber.
Contact our fiber applications team for assistance in choosing the right fiber for enriching your products.
Fiber Claims:
Relative claims such as "Good Source of Fiber" or "Excellent Source of Fiber" are possible by following the regulations outlined in 21 CFR 101.54 (b) or (c).
- "High", "Rich in" or "Excellent Source of": Contains 20% or more of the Daily Value (DV) per reference amount (serving size). DV for dietary fiber is 25g.
- "Good Source of ", "Contains" or "Provides": Contains 10%-19% of the DV per reference amount. DV for dietary fiber is 25g.
The serving size of a product is the reference amount customarily consumed per eating occasion. These amounts are listed in 21 CFR 101.12. If a food is not low in total fat, the label must state total fat in conjunction with the fiber claim.
Fiber and Whole Grains:
Not all whole grains are high in fiber. SunOpta's fibers can be used to supplement whole grain formulas to meet target fiber levels. To make a whole grain claim, the product must contain 51 percent or more whole grain ingredients by weight per reference amount (RA) and have a dietary fiber content of at least:
2.5 g per RA of 45 g 1.7 g per RA of 35 g
