Snackex 2026: Limagrain Ingredients to Highlight Blue Masa Flour Applications in Lisbon

On the occasion of Snackex, taking place on June 17–18 in Lisbon, Limagrain Ingredients is showcasing blue masa flour, a naturally distinctive ingredient designed to support snack manufacturers in addressing key challenges around innovation, naturalness and product performance.
 

Unlocking the natural potential of grain

At Limagrain Ingredients, innovation starts with the plant. Blue maize is a perfect illustration: its intense colour, naturally derived from anthocyanins, enables the creation of visually striking products without compromising recipe simplicity. 100% maize, gluten-free and non-GMO, it fully aligns with clean label expectations while enhancing the sensory appeal of snack products.
 

Supporting manufacturers in their innovation journey

Developed for snack applications, blue masa flour offers high versatility across tortilla chips, extruded snacks, pellets, cereals and tortillas. Its ability to be incorporated at high levels makes it a powerful lever for differentiation, both visually and in terms of product positioning. In a European market where blue maize remains underdeveloped, it opens up new opportunities to create distinctive products that meet evolving consumer expectations.
 

A controlled supply chain, from field to ingredient

Grown in Limagne, in the Auvergne region of France, Limagrain Ingredients’ blue maize benefits from a fully integrated supply chain, from seed selection to processing. This ensures traceability, consistent quality and supply reliability.
