MicroSalt (LSE:SALT) launched MicroSalt Fibre, a patented dual-action ingredient that combines its established low-sodium salt with functional fibre to allow food manufacturers to reduce sodium and increase fibre using a single ingredient.
MicroSalt, the maker of micron-sized full-flavour low-sodium salt, said the product extends its IP-protected platform, the group holds a granted US patent and 14 pending applications, into the dietary fibre market, which it cites as $9.6bn in 2025 and forecast to grow from $10.6bn in 2026 to $22bn by 2034.
"We are delighted to launch our latest innovative product, MicroSalt Fibre, which marks an important evolutionary step in our technology, enabling both sodium reduction and fibre fortification within a single ingredient while maintaining taste, texture and operational efficiency," Rick Guiney, Chief Executive Officer, said.
MicroSalt said the technology applies the same production process and carrier flexibility as its salt product, is suitable for snacks, baked goods and prepared meals, and is designed for seamless integration into existing manufacturing lines to enable rapid industrial deployment.
The company framed the launch against tightening sodium controls and evolving front-of-pack regimes, including expansion of HFSS rules in the UK, arguing manufacturers are moving from single-nutrient reformulation to multi-nutrient solutions.
Operational since 2018, MicroSalt noted it has contributed to more than 634m servings made healthier year to date through 2025 and positions MicroSalt Fibre as a commercial step in its scale-up pathway.
