With the FDA mulling a requirement to label ‘added sugars,’ now is the time to look at various sweetening systems, and the ramifications of using them.

Exhibitors at IFT focused on clean labels and highlighted new sugar alternatives and more.

Derived from sugar beet, Beneo's next-generation sugar Palatinose is a natural and non-GMO bulk sweetener.

Consumers seek foods with clean labels. Dairy processors have a variety of sweetener options to help them achieve an easy-to-pronounce (meaning ‘clean’) ingredient statement.

To limit the amount of added sugar allowed in the food supply, two medical doctors propose using a cap-and-trade policy, similar to that used for environmental pollutants.

Steviva Ingredients’ GMO-free Erysweet Erythritol is an all-natural sweetener produced through natural fermentation.

Dairy processors are in the “customer-is-always-right” business. But lately, knowing just what the customer is right about can test the faculties of even the keenest student of consumer behavior.
