What is Organic Fructooligosaccharide?
Organic Fructooligosaccharide Powder (FOS Powder), often called Organic FOS or Natural Oligofructose, is a plant-based prebiotic fiber derived from 100% certified organic sources such as chicory root (Cichorium intybus) or Jerusalem artichoke. This soluble, mildly sweet powder is designed to support digestive health by selectively nourishing beneficial gut bacteria, including Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli.
As a low-calorie, non-GMO ingredient with a glycemic index (GI) of nearly zero, it is ideal for B2B manufacturers in the functional food, infant nutrition, and nutraceutical industries. Its neutral flavor and high solubility make it a versatile addition to sugar-reduced formulations, dairy alternatives, and immune-support products. Certified USDA Organic, EU Organic, and Halal/Kosher, it meets global clean-label demands for transparency and sustainability.
