Clean label
advantage
Want to boost the clean label appeal of your formulations?
More brands are leaning toward simple ingredient decks, and global product launches continue to highlight claims that avoid additives and preservatives. This shift reflects growing consumer interest in foods that feel closer to the source and free from unnecessary inputs.
Yellow field peas offer a non GMO, glyphosate free path to organic friendly starch. With far less processing than tapioca or many other starches, pea based options can replace modified starches in a wide range of recipes and support progress toward environmental and sustainability goals.
Neutral color and dependable performance
Trying to improve visual appeal or texture in your formulations?
Internal testing by PURIS shows that pea starch delivers stronger expansion than rice or corn starch in puffed and expanded applications. It brings both consistency and lift, supporting a better finished product.
Tapioca starch can be swapped for pea starch with little to no adjustment in extrusion. With its 1 to 1 expansion behavior, PS85 works as a straightforward replacement that helps products achieve the appearance and eating quality consumers expect from modern clean label brands.
Upcycled ingredients support a lower carbon footprint
If you are looking to shrink your environmental impact as a food maker, upcycled ingredients offer a meaningful place to start. Upcycled Certified™ ingredients redirect usable organic material away from landfills, which helps limit greenhouse gas emissions and supports more responsible resource use.
Choosing upcycled inputs can also strengthen your connection with shoppers. More than half of consumers say they are at least somewhat active in environmental efforts, and many look for products that reflect those values.
Working with upcycled materials supports a more efficient supply chain, reduces waste, and helps brands appeal to consumers who care about sustainability and mindful production.
Organic or
Non-Gmo?
you have options.
PURIS Organic Pea Starch (OPS85) is ideal for formulations that require certified organic, clean‑label ingredients, delivering dependable thickness, neutral color, and strong functional performance in soups, sauces, baked goods, and more. For applications that don’t need organic certification, PURIS PS85 non-GMO provides the same naturally high‑amylose structure, reliable cook‑up behavior, and clean label appeal, often at a more cost‑effective price point.
