20 May 2021 --- Chicory root fibers inulin and oligofructose have been approved for a prebiotic claim for the first time in Indonesia by the country’s National Agency of Drug and Food Control (Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan). Beneo says the approval is made possible by its continuous research and communication efforts with local authorities. The Germany-based chicory root specialist is eyeing an increasingly lucrative opportunity in supplying gut health products to Southeast Asia’s largest consumer market.
