11 Jun 2019 --- The US mainstream commercial adoption of allulose looks closer than ever after the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that it will allow the low-calorie sweetener to be excluded from total and added sugars counts on Nutrition and Supplement Facts labels when used as an ingredient in April 2019. “Allulose has been approved for some time, but until now allulose has been labeled as a sugar and as an added sugar because it is a rare sugar. But it has relatively low calories at just 4 calories per gram. Until now there has never been an issue like to this for the FDA to contend with: a sugar without calories. We recognized some 4 years ago that we needed to overcome that because consumers are not just looking for calorie reduction, but also for sugar reduction,” Abigail Storms at Tate & Lyle says.

Products included a lychee red fruits juice drink with Intesse Stevia 2.0 and a thousand island dressing containing a sweetener blend including a stevia/sucralose blend with the company’s HAMULSION emulsifier. Also presented was a reduced sugar coffee latte creation. With OPTIMIZER Stevia 4.10 and INTESSE Stevia 2.0, producers have more tools to deliver cost-efficient sugar and calorie reductions across their product ranges, meeting growing consumer demand for great tasting, plant-based products that support weight management.

10 Jul 2017 --- Tate & Lyle is looking to explore an unexploited gap around texture in food product development. "Texture is one of the least understood attributes built into foods and because of that we have been sharing our expertise in texture in how it relates to starch, but more importantly in terms of formulating ingredients into food systems and characterizing them in terms of sensory & consumer facts is really key to getting the outcomes that people really want," says Judith Whaley of Tate & Lyle.  

20 Jun 2017 --- This year marks the 150-year anniversary of Tate & Lyle’s oldest starch production facility, known as “Koog,” located along the Dutch River Zaan.
