MycoTechnology has announced that its new ClearHT natural flavour has received Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) status from the Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association (FEMA) for use as a flavour with modifying properties (FMP) in multiple food and beverage categories.
Discovered from the honey truffle, a species of fungi with a rich history of use, ClearHT natural flavour is the newest addition to MycoTechnology’s portfolio of taste solutions.
At low inclusion levels, it enhances flavours such as citrus and caramel, and offers new ways to modulate sweetness, helping to address continued consumer demand for better-tasting, healthier products. It will be available for use in markets that recognise FEMA GRAS determinations by early 2026.
“Achieving FEMA GRAS status affirms the safety of ClearHT natural flavour and opens new opportunities in many regions,” says Sue Potter, Ph.D., vice president, global regulatory affairs at MycoTechnology. “This is a significant milestone in our efforts to expand the availability of our ingredient solutions to global markets.”
Jordi Ferre, MycoTechnology’s CEO, said of the pride of introducing ClearHT™ natural flavour to MycoTechnology’s line of transformative ingredient solutions: “Our team has continued to demonstrate exceptional progress in scale-up, safety validation, and applications development in preparation for commercial availability. This approval marks another important step in our mission to promote healthier, better-tasting food and beverages.”
