Sugar giant Tate & Lyle has bought leading South African food ingredients company Dolcré for £1.4m.
T&L bought the remaining 80% stake in the company, adding to the 20% it acquired in 1998.
Dolcré, which produces modified starches, sweeteners, pectins, maltodextrins and fat replacers, will change its name to Tate & Lyle South Africa and trade under the Tate & Lyle brand.
