Sugar for Coated Candy

As regulatory and consumer scrutiny around TiO₂ continues to grow, VersaCal® Bright offers confectionary manufacturers a clean-label alternative that delivers comparable whiteness in sugar coatings—without the potential health concerns associated with TiO₂. This calcium phosphate ingredient is FDA-approved for use in coated confections and has shown similar color results to TiO₂ in hard-shell candies, like coated almonds.
