Tate & Lyle expands sweetener portfolio with ERYTESSE™ Erythritol

ERYTESSE™ Erythritol has 70% the sweetness of sucrose and a similar temporal profile, with zero[1] calories[2]. It can be used in a range of categories, including beverages, dairy, bakery and confectionery.
In the United States, specifically, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2020-2025 call for consumers to “limit foods and beverages higher in added sugars” to less than 10% of daily calories. Research shows the top sources of added sugars in the US diet include sugar-sweetened beverages, desserts and sweet snacks, sweetened coffee and tea, and candy.
