Chengdu Wagott Launches Private Label Tabletop Stevia

Chengdu Wagott Pharmaceuticals Co. (Chengdu, China) is launching private label tabletop stevia sweeteners for the United States and European Union markets, according to Israel-based marketing partner Brenner Pharma/Food.

The tabletop sweetener is derived from Wagott’s ViaSweet Reb-A ingredient, for which the company filed self-affirmed Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status earlier this year.

Wagott controls 12,000 acres for stevia farming in China, including 300 acres for certified-organic stevia available to U.S. and EU markets.

A member of the International Stevia Council, Wagott engages in what it calls a “farm to table” stevia business.
