Stevia is widely-used in the Americas and will be cleared for use in the EU from December onwards.
In addition, Tereos PureCircle announced the launch of a new solution sweetener that combines stevia extracts with sugar to industrial customers for the development of calorie-reduced products.
Michel Laborde, the new director of Tereos PureCircle Solutions, said: “Tereos PureCircle Solutions is able to respond to new consumer trends for calorific reduction through natural products.”
