MicroSalt Launches MicroSalt Fibre

 

A patented, dual action ingredient technology that combines MicroSalt's
established low sodium salt with functional fibre

 

MicroSalt (AIM: SALT), a leading manufacturer of full-flavour natural salt
with approximately 50% less sodium, is delighted to announce the launch of
MicroSalt Fibre, extending its patented technology into a dual function
solution that enables both sodium reduction and functional fibre within a
single ingredient.

 

MicroSalt Fibre is a patented, dual action ingredient technology that combines
MicroSalt's established low sodium salt with functional fibre. MicroSalt
patented technology covers the use of a broad range of carriers and a
consistent production process, meaning the same proven know-how and controls
behind MicroSalt are applied to MicroSalt Fibre. The product enables
manufacturers to address two key nutritional objectives simultaneously
reducing sodium content and increasing fibre, while maintaining flavour,
texture, and operational efficiency. This launch reflects a broader shift in
the food industry, where reformulation is no longer focused on single nutrient
reduction, but on delivering multiple nutritional improvements at the same
time, without compromising product performance.

 

According to Fortune Business Insights, the global dietary fibre market was
valued at $9.6 billion in 2025. The market is projected to grow from $10.6
billion in 2026 to $22.0 billion by 2034, exhibiting a CAGR of 9.63% during
the forecast period.(1)

Additionally, as international demand grows for tighter regulation of sodium
consumption, including the expansion of High Fat, Sugar and Salt ("HFSS")
regulations in the UK, the Company believes that technology capable of both
reducing sodium and improving product health profiles through increased fibre
content positions MicroSalt to further expand its reach and strengthen its
market share. MicroSalt Fibre has been formulated to support these evolving
global requirements through a single-ingredient solution that can be deployed
across multiple product applications.

 

MicroSalt Fibre was developed in response to growing demand for functional
carriers to replace or enhance "empty calorie" carriers such as maltodextrin,
driven by evolving consumer preferences and the rise of GLP-1-related
nutritional gaps. Suitable for use across a range of food categories,
including snacks, baked goods and prepared meals, the technology has been
designed for seamless integration into existing manufacturing processes,
enabling rapid deployment at industrial scale without requiring reformulation
complexity or changes to established production systems.

 

MicroSalt enjoys tailwinds resulting from increased regulation and as
regulatory frameworks evolve and front of pack labelling systems become more
stringent, sodium reduction and fibre enhancement are emerging as two of the
most immediate and actionable levers available to manufacturers. MicroSalt is
not only reducing sodium, but also enabling a new standard for practical,
scalable food reformulation.

 

Rick Guiney, Chief Executive Officer of MicroSalt, commented: "We are
delighted to launch our latest innovative product, MicroSalt Fibre, which
marks an important evolutionary step in our technology. The industry is moving
beyond single nutrient reformulation, and manufacturers are increasingly
looking for solutions that deliver multiple health benefits without the added
complexity. MicroSalt Fibre responds directly to this need, enabling both
sodium reduction and fibre fortification within a single ingredient, while
maintaining taste, texture and operational efficiency. This is a natural
extension of our mission to support healthier food systems at scale."

About MicroSalt

 

MicroSalt is disrupting the global salt market with its patented,
full-flavour, low-sodium salt designed for both food manufacturers and
consumers. Using proprietary micron-sized particles, MicroSalt delivers the
same salty taste as traditional salt with approximately 50% less sodium,
offering a scalable solution to one of the world's most pressing health
challenges. Year to date through 2025, MicroSalt has contributed to more than
634M servings made healthier.

 

Excess sodium consumption is a leading contributor to cardiovascular disease,
the world's number one cause of death. The World Health Organisation has
targeted a 30% reduction in global sodium intake by 2025, a shift projected to
save seven million lives by 2030. The economic case is equally compelling: in
the UK alone, cardiovascular disease costs £19 billion annually, and reducing
average daily salt intake by just one gram could save over 4,000 lives and
£288 million each year.

 

Operational since 2018, MicroSalt has established a defensible IP portfolio,
holding a granted US patent and 14 pending applications worldwide. These
protections create significant barriers to entry in a market expected to grow
exponentially as regulation and consumer demand accelerate.

 

MicroSalt is ideally positioned for scale and market leadership, with clear
pathways into food manufacturing, consumer channels, and ultimately the
broader £10+ billion global salt market. MicroSalt is more than a healthier
alternative-it is a disruptive, category-defining solution poised to deliver
significant commercial and societal impact.
