07 February 20222 min reading

Danisco Animal Nutrition & Health’s natural betaine Betafin BT gained Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) listing for use in certified organic production.

Danisco Animal Nutrition & Health, a business unit of IFF's Health & Biosciences division, announced that its natural betaine Betafin BT has gained OMRI listing for use in certified organic production.

“We are delighted to receive a formal recognition from the Organic Materials Review Institute for Betafin BT, given its rigorous review process for ensuring that products meet the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) organic standards,” said Regina Cortada, marketing director, NAM at Danisco Animal Nutrition & Health.

“Betafin is already authorized for use in organic feed production in Europe, so the endorsement from the OMRI will now provide the same authorization for our customers in the U.S. market. This further strengthens the organic credentials of Betafin and underlines its suitability for sustainable farming practices,” said Janet Remus, technical services director at Danisco Animal Nutrition & Health.

Developed for use in poultry, swine and ruminant feed, Betafin natural betaine is extracted from sustainable sugar beet molasses and vinasses (fermented molasses) using a patented process. Its dual action on water balance and methylation benefits overall production by reducing feed costs, providing more energy for animal growth, and increasing overall profit.

Legislation regarding the use of Betafin natural betaine varies between countries globally. Advice regarding its legal status is available through local representatives of Danisco Animal Nutrition & Health.
