Fossil Shell Flour (Diatomaceous Earth)

Contract Manufacturing & Bulk Supply

Fossil Shell Flour is a naturally occurring mineral ingredient derived from freshwater diatoms. The fossilised remains of these microscopic organisms form a silica-rich material that can be processed into a fine powder for manufacturing applications.

Our Fossil Shell Flour is supplied as a food-grade ingredient for use in appropriate food products and formulations. Its fine powder format allows it to be incorporated into suitable powder and capsule manufacturing processes, either as a standalone ingredient or alongside other food ingredients.

The ingredient can be supplied for ongoing production requirements, private label projects and bulk manufacturing.
