Chinova Bioworks Receives Vegan and Kosher Certifications

Chinova Biowork’s CHIBER™ Mushroom Chitosan Fiber ingredient is now suitable for consumers following a Vegan and a Kosher diet! Chinova Bioworks, the maker of the natural preservative ingredient Chiber™, received its official Vegan and Kosher certification from the Kashruth Council of Canada.

Chinova’s Chiber mushroom chitosan ingredient is now considered Vegan and Kosher Pareve.

It’s important for us to have Chiber™ mushroom chitosan available to as many consumers as possible, so that everyone can benefit from having natural, healthy ingredients in their foods and beverages. With Chiber™ being 100% white button mushroom fiber, this is one of the first times that chitosan, where it’s typically produced from shellfish, can be Vegan and Kosher certified
— David Brown, COO, Chinova Bioworks

Chiber™ is an antimicrobial food and beverage preservative made from a fiber extracted from mushrooms, called chitosan. It has the advantages of broad-spectrum antimicrobial effectiveness while being a healthy natural fiber.
