GB Plange and modern biotechnology

GB Plange produces a wide range of ingredients for foods which bring important benefits to consumers around the world.

Since 1980, the company has utilized its skills in modern biotechnology* to improve several of its fermentation-based processes. This technology enables GB Plange to manufacture products to more precise specifications and to a higher standard than traditional processes allow. Modern biotechnology enables products to be manufactured with lower inputs of energy and raw materials, and often at lower cost. In addition, modern biotechnology can be an essential prerequisite for new products.

Applications of modern biotechnology in the medical field are generally accepted. But consumers in many countries have been unsettled about its use in foods. GB plange recognises and respects these concerns, and has responded by always providing information to its customers and to the community about its activities, its manufacturing processes and its use of modern biotechnology. This transparency forms an important part of our policy.

GB Plange supplies its customers with ingredients which are produced using modern biotechnology and with ingredients which are produced using traditional manufacturing technologies.

GB Plange is aware of its responsibility to produce safe, high quality products. GB Plange products are evaluated for safety and to ensure compliance with national and international regulations.
