Rosemary Extract
As food manufacturers face growing pressure to remove synthetic additives from their formulations, rosemary extract has become one of the most reliable natural alternatives available. We supply Origin™ Powder RO2, a rosemary extract preservative developed by Corbion, to food manufacturers and formulators who need a proven, clean-label solution for extending shelf life and controlling oxidation. The product is based on rosemary powder (natural flavor) and sea salt, making it straightforward to incorporate into existing formulations without compromising label claims.

Certifications That Support Compliance and Sourcing Confidence
Origin™ Powder RO2 meets several key certification and quality standards that matter to procurement and R&D teams evaluating natural preservative suppliers. Each of the following credentials is independently verified and directly relevant to common sourcing requirements in the food manufacturing industry.
The product is Halal certified by the Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America (IFANCA), supporting food manufacturers who supply Halal-compliant markets or maintain Halal certification across their product lines.
Origin™ Powder RO2 is certified Kosher Pareve by the Orthodox Union, one of the most widely recognized kosher certification bodies in the industry. This designation confirms the product contains no meat or dairy derivatives and is suitable for use in kosher-certified food production.
This product is not comprised of raw materials derived or extracted from genetically modified organisms. For manufacturers building or maintaining Non-GMO Project Verified or clean-label product lines, this status removes a common sourcing barrier and supports transparent ingredient declarations.
Where Rosemary Extract Fits in Your Formulation
Rosemary extract works across a wide range of food categories where oxidation control and natural preservation are priorities. We work with manufacturers in the following segments:
- Meat and poultry products, where lipid oxidation and color stability are ongoing formulation challenges
- Bakery and snack products prone to rancidity over extended shelf life windows
- Dairy-based products and spreads requiring clean-label antioxidant support
- Condiments, sauces, and dressings where oil-containing systems are susceptible to oxidative degradation
- Processed and packaged foods where synthetic preservative replacement is a reformulation goal
As a rosemary extract supplier, we source from established manufacturers and provide the documentation, certifications, and product support that procurement and quality teams need to move efficiently through their approval process. If your formulation falls within our anti-microbials product category, or if you are sourcing across multiple ingredient categories including meat and poultry applications, our team can help identify the right fit.
