Z-Trim
 | This article needs to be updated. (February 2012) |
Z-Trim is a fat substitute developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture made of natural dietary fibers. It is currently licensed for manufacture to Z-Trim Holdings.
This product was created as a health and diet aid; it has no calories since it consists of dietary fiber which cannot be digested by the human body, is natural, and can greatly reduce the fat in foods "with little or no change in flavor or texture," according to a review by the leading consumer reviews organization.[1] Some schools have begun to use the product in their cafeterias, where it has been popular with students.[2][3]
Despite the positive independent reviews the product has received,[citation needed] the company is losing money and as of April 2008 its stock price has fallen by more than 75% in the past year.[citation needed]
