Steviva Brands
The next visitor to the FoodNavigator-USA booth was Thom King, president of stevia specialist Steviva Brands, which makes stevia-based sweeteners on an all-natural, non-GMO, soy free, corn free and allergen free platform for the b2b and retail market (its products are in 1,500+ stores at retailers including Whole Foods Market and Sprouts).
The firm, which has just launched an organic agave nectar with stevia for use in confectionery, bakery and beverage applications, has also garnered a lot of PR lately around Fructevia, its blend of non-GMO crystalline fructose, the prebiotic fiber inulin, stevia and magnesium carbonate, which works very well in chocolate milk, says King.
“There is absolutely no aftertaste and the final product has a mouth-feel and flavor profile identical to milks sweetened with sugar.”
