Molinos (Peru)

Molinos is the Peruvian company identified in The sneaky way companies get new chemicals into our food as the producer behind the Tara Flour supply chain. The episode says Molinos had long made tara gum and later began manufacturing tara flour as a high-protein ingredient from the tara tree.

The page is source-scoped because the episode does not treat Molinos as a broad corporate profile. Its wiki role is to mark the upstream point in a Food Additive Regulation case where a new ingredient moved through Smirks into Daily Harvest before serious safety questions were publicly resolved.
