Introducing EverSweet®: The next generation stevia sweetener
Consumers are looking to reduce their intake of sugars without compromising on taste or label friendliness. Fortunately, next-generation stevia solutions are here to truly hit this market sweet spot!
- 64% of consumers claim to avoid sugar when shopping for packaged food & beverages.*
- More than 1 in 3 consumers actively avoid artificial sweeteners*
In order to help meet this market opportunity we’re excited that our next-generation stevia sweetener, EverSweet®, (a product of Avansya – a joint venture of Cargill and dsm-firmenich), is now approved for use in the UK. Furthermore, following a positive safety opinion by The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), EverSweet® is expected to be authorized in the EU at the beginning of 2025.
EverSweet® uses advanced fermentation techniques to bring to life stevia’s sweetest elements – steviol glycosides Reb M and Reb D. With EverSweet®, you can make significant sugar reductions to your food or beverage formulations without compromising on taste.
Not only does EverSweet® offer great taste, an internal lifecycle analysis (LCA) study highlights improved environmental performance in key metrics such as carbon footprint, water use and land use impact for EverSweet® compared to production from leaf or bioconversion, or traditional sugar.**
