VERSASWEET™ low-sugar glucose syrups
Bring sugar to new lows with low-sugar glucose syrups
Reduce sugar and increase label appeal
Consumers can compare products and the Nutrition Facts panel side-by-side when mulling over which product they ultimately want to take home. Through proprietary research, we know that consumers prefer products with less sugar and that come with the sweetness experience they love. Sixty-one percent of consumers in our study said that “added sugar” on the nutrition label would negatively impact their purchase intent.1
How can you deliver a more appealing label in your reduced-sugar products?
VERSASWEET™ low-sugar corn- or tapioca-based glucose syrups are 1/3 as sweet as sucrose and have a 50-70% lower percentage of mono- and disaccharides (DP1 + DP2) when compared to traditional glucose syrups – so you can sweetly reduce sugar on your product labels.
