The Basic Ingredients Ltd is a BRCGS-certified Grade AA food company specialising in clean-label products. Often called “Clean Dec” among food technologists, clean label is yet a familiar phrase to consumers. What is clean label? It simply means products are made without additives. What Are Food Additives? Food additives are substances added to enhance flavour,colour, shelf life, or texture. While thousands are legally permitted and regulated by authorities, are they good for your well-being? Probably not! Here are a few common examples: Emulsifier E471 in most of the ice-cream brands; Brilliant Blue E133 as colouring and Xanthan Gum E415 as thickener in Wasabi paste; Aspartame E951 as sweetener in Diet Cola UK. Emma Basic is a clean-label brand and registered trademark, proudly owned by The Basic Ingredients Ltd. At Emma Basic, we go further than just removing additives. When develop a product we eliminate UPFs like refined oils, reducing plastic in package, allow only a minimal number of ingredients that are nourishing, natural —to support real well-being.
