Product Description
160 ASTA paprika powder for meat products and snacks
160 ASTA paprika powder gives a strong red while keeping the mild taste of sweet paprika. We mill it to 60–80 mesh at 10% maximum moisture.
Meat processors and snack-seasoning makers often ask for this grade with a narrow color band, so that each batch of sausage, marinade or coated snack comes out the same shade. Tell us your accepted ASTA tolerance and we confirm it before production.
