Tereos has announced the launch of Actifiber, a corn-based ingredient designed to enrich products with fibre.
This new solution enriches products with fibre while reducing calories, without compromising taste or texture.
The ingredient is derived from non-GMO corn starch and is developed and produced in France.
Actifiber will help food brands improve the nutritional profile of their products and beverages, reaffirming Tereos’ role as a trusted partner that is attentive to market developments and consumer expectations.
It is designed for a wide range of applications, including beverages, baked goods, cereals, confectionery, chocolate, dairy products and more.
Some examples of the nutritional impact of Actifiber include the following:
- A fibre-enriched water with Actifiber can provide up to 20% of the recommended daily fibre intake in a 250 ml bottle,
- An ice cream containing Actifiber can improve its Nutri-Score from C to A,
- A chocolate containing 8% Actifiber can also carry the claim “high in fibre.”
Why this matters
One-third of European shoppers rely on Nutri-Scores to assess nutritional quality.
Plus, fibre intake remains insufficient among consumers.
Therefore, Actifiber provides a concrete solution, actively contributing to daily fibre intake and meeting consumer expectations for healthier, more natural products.
Marion Hoff, Tereos’ Sales Director Europe, said: "Through launching Actifiber, Tereos supports its customers in the transition towards creating healthier and more natural eating habits."
"We provide concrete solutions that meet both nutritional requirements and consumer expectations.”
Actifiber's manufacturing process ensures a neutral taste and clarity, guaranteeing seamless formulation in everyday food products, while preserving the flavour and colour of the final product.
This corn-based fibre can also be used in vegan product formulations.
Michel Flambeau, Director of the Customer Innovation Center, added: “Actifiber illustrates our ability to innovate alongside our partners."
"This ingredient enhances the nutritional value of products without altering their taste, a true breakthrough for the food industry.”
From 2-4 December 2025, Tereos will present Actifiber and its potential applications for reformulating high-nutritional-value products during two conferences on nutrition and evolving consumer expectations at Food Ingredients Europe.
