Reformulations without Compromising on Taste or Mouthfeel

Excessive sugar consumption is a growing global concern, contributing to rising rates of obesity, diabetes and chronic health conditions. With the WHO recommending a reduction of free sugars to less than 10% – and ideally below 5% – of total energy intake, and many countries implementing sugar taxes, the need for healthier, lower-sugar alternatives has never been more important.

Today’s health-conscious consumers are driving this shift, actively seeking products that support long-term wellness without compromising on taste, indulgence or convenience. For food and beverage brands, sugar reduction and replacement present a strategic opportunity: to meet regulatory requirements, respond to evolving consumer preferences and gain a competitive edge.

Discover how your business can lead the way with innovative solutions that deliver sweetness, enjoyment and healthier ingredient profiles – without compromise.

Evolving Sweet

Drive the transition to healthier lifestyles and better human nutrition

Challenges When Reducing or Replacing Sugar

Sugar is more than just a sweetener: among other things, it masks unpleasant flavours, influences mouthfeel and contributes to flavour intensity. Balancing flavour, texture and functionality while complying with legal regulations and clean-label requirements as well as consumer preferences requires expertise.

This reduces exposure to sugar taxes, supports clean-label strategies and ensures product quality with natural, plant-based sweetness. Meet the expectations of health-conscious consumers by offering low- or no-sugar products that maintain the familiar taste and mouthfeel.

Redefine sweet by incorporating innovative ingredients that offer more than just sugary taste.
