“Surge in Sustainable and Clean-label Innovations"
- Consumers are increasingly preferring sustainable, traceable, and eco-friendly food ingredients, leading to rising demand for clean-label algae-based food additive
- Food companies are reformulating their products to replace synthetic additives with algae-derived natural alternatives, enhancing brand transparency and consumer trust
- Green certifications such as USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, and EU Organic labels are becoming critical for algae-based food additive market acceptance globally
For instance,
- In March 2025, Algaia secured EU Organic certification for its entire line of Algae-based Food Additive ingredients, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability
- Earthrise Nutritionals launched a Non-GMO spirulina-based additive certified by the Clean Label Project in late 2024
- Cargill introduced a traceable red algae extract for food fortification in February 2025, with full blockchain-based transparency features
- As eco-conscious consumerism grows, sustainable and clean-label innovations will drive the next wave of growth in the algae-based food additive sector
