Today’s consumers expect clean labels, bright visuals, and snackable fun—without artificial dyes or allergens. If you’re a Brand Manager or Category Lead developing the next better-for-you snack or bakery item, FoodGrid Clean-Label Sprinkles help you launch with confidence. Designed to meet brand, ops, and regulatory standards, these inclusions check all the boxes for modern food innovation.
What Brand & Category Leaders Are Up Against
Consumers are reading labels, retailers are asking for transparency, and speed-to-shelf matters more than ever. According to NielsenIQ, 73% of global consumers say they would change their consumption habits to reduce environmental impact, and 64% prefer food brands that support clean-label and minimal processing [1].
For food innovators, that means your toppings and inclusions must deliver:
- Vibrant appearance without artificial dyes
- Allergen-free credentials
- Functional performance in frozen, refrigerated, or ambient formats
- Scalable supply and formulation consistency
FoodGrid Clean-Label Sprinkles were designed with exactly that in mind.
Innovation Without Compromise
FoodGrid sprinkles are made with vegetable- and mineral-based colors like turmeric, beet, and spirulina. That means no FD&C artificial colors—and no label risk.
- No titanium dioxide
- No synthetic colors or preservatives
- Free from the top 9 allergens
- Kosher, Vegan, and Non-GMO
This gives your team the flexibility to innovate across kid-friendly snacks, better-for-you bakery, frozen novelties, or seasonal launches—all while staying ahead of clean-label audits.
