Frequently asked questions

How do you select your raw materials?

At Ebro Ingredients, the right ingredient starts with the right raw material. We select raw materials based on their quality, functionality, nutritional potential and suitability for our production processes and applications. Our current portfolio is built around rice, pulses and other gluten-free cereals.

As part of the Ebro Foods Group, we also benefit from the Group’s international presence and global sourcing capabilities, supporting our access to suitable raw materials for our ingredient solutions.

Can new raw materials be added to the portfolio?

Yes. Our raw material portfolio can evolve together with new market and application needs. Ebro Ingredients already develops tailor-made solutions beyond its standard portfolio, with the current brochure specifying that these should remain gluten- and allergen-free.

If a new raw material offers relevant functional or nutritional opportunities, it can therefore be explored as a potential starting point for future ingredient development.

Can I suggest a raw material myself?

Absolutely. If you are working with a specific crop, cereal or pulse that could provide an interesting solution for your application, talk to us about it.

Our approach to new raw materials is not simply about expanding the portfolio. The goal is to understand what the raw material could bring to an application and whether it can form the basis for a relevant Ebro Ingredients solution.

With so many possibilities, how to ensure consistent quality?

A broad choice of raw materials only creates value when it is combined with clear quality requirements.

Ebro Ingredients combines raw-material selection with product-specific specifications, quality and microbiological criteria, relevant certifications and application testing. Our current materials also reference compliance with IFS, Halal, Kosher and Bio standards, while applicability can vary by individual product or grade.

Our connection to the Ebro Foods Group gives Ebro Ingredients the additional advantage of the Group’s international presence and global sourcing capabilities. Together with Ebro Ingredients’ own quality processes, this creates a strong foundation for selecting appropriate raw materials for our portfolio.
