10 Apr 2020 --- Ingredion is to acquire a controlling 75 percent stake in PureCircle, a US-based manufacturer of “next-generation” stevia leaf ingredients. Sugar reduction is part of Ingredion’s growth strategy, with the ingredients supplier pegging stevia as a core product. PureCircle has a proven track record for producing plant-based stevia, while this is Ingredion’s second significant announcement this week, closely following its plans to build an integrated modified starch facility in China designed to more than double its current capacity.
