“Our partnership with Sweet Green Fields has enabled us to add the broadest and most competitive stevia portfolio in the industry to our sweetener platform. We can now additionally offer our customers a combined, in-depth knowledge of stevia from seed to sweetener, on top of our best in class sweeteners expertise. The partnership has enabled us to become the  ingredient supplier best positioned to offer full sugar reduction solutions to our customers.
 
“We know that consumers are looking for more natural sweetening solutions that help them reduce calories and sugars, but they’re not willing to sacrifice great taste. In fact, the most important benefit to a consumer when choosing a sweetener is that it’s “a good balance of taste and health.” We’re giving Drinktec visitors the opportunity to experience this first-hand at this year’s stand with our new portfolio.”
