Proven Zero Sugar Added Formulas

Icon Foods Proven Formulas

Reducing or replacing sugar in food and beverage formulas can be a difficult process. When using high intensity sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit as direct replacements for sugar, volume can be lost, requiring additional ingredients to bring back bulk. Similarly when using sweeteners like erythritol and allulose—both of which are only 70% as sweet as sugar—additional sweeteners may be needed to bring the blend up to parity with sugar. Icon Foods’ dedicated R&D Team functions in tandem with our Quality Control Team, assisting formulators with perfecting their reduced sugar formulas.
