01 Aug 2017 --- Beneo has revealed its latest collection of sugar-free hard candy products using the sugar replacer Isomalt, which is derived from sugar beet. The new product developments include Beneo’s new Sweets Collection and the artisan Rock Candy. Beneo’s Isomalt has also received European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) health claims for its low-glycemic and tooth-friendly characteristics. In addition, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a dental health claim. According to Beneo, both of these facts “open up new marketing possibilities for confectionery producers.”
