Products and Services Focus
SteviaWorld Europe aims to address key issues dominating the global stevia industry today, spotlighting key Stevia regulatory developments. After the US FDA recognised high purity Reb A from key producers as 'Generally Recognised as Safe' (GRAS), the global market is now holding its breath for approval from European Food Safety Association (EFSA). Currently, Stevia is permitted neither as a food ingredient nor as a supplement in Europe.

SteviaWorld Europe will also present a global stevia market update, focusing on the rapidly expanding American marketplace where stevia is still considered a brand new entry, overview consumer perceptions of stevia, and the latest developments in flavour masking solutions. Attendees will also gain perspectives on responses from other competing high-intensity sweeteners in the global sweetener marketplace and their potential impact on Stevia demand.
