Liquid smoke

Based on real wood

For years, we have known how to get the best taste, colour and functionality for your application with liquid smoke. Condensed smoke forms the base of this product. We remove all impurities, such as tar and PAHs. You are left with a clean liquid with a smoky flavour that you can use in many ways. Even for cross-linking.

The versatility of liquid smoke

Flexibility in applications

Ruitenberg Ingredients offers smoke condensates with different flavour profiles, such as hickory and beech. We can supply them in liquid, powder, water-soluble or oil-soluble forms. You can add them directly to the product or process, such as dipping, drenching or atomizing. So you can give your meat, fish, plant-based products, cheese, sauces or marinades a tasty smoky flavour. Do you want to know more? Visit our Tech Centres.

New rules

European Commission decision

In April 2024, the EFSA concluded that smoke flavourings could be harmful. So, the European Commission has banned them. As a producer, you have a transition period to change your recipes.

• Meat, fish and cheese: until July 2029.
• Crisps, nuts, soups, sauces, dressings, marinades and spice mixes: until July 2026.

We will be happy to work with you in this transition process. Our new FumX range is ready for the future.
And we will keep supplying liquid smoke until the new rules apply.
