SweeGen, Inc., a nature-based sweetener company announced that it now has a new

SweeGen successfully commercialized its non-GMO Reb M and Reb D in 2016 and 
2017 respectively and just announced the approval of its latest developed 
steviol glycoside, Reb E, a major component in the company's Bestevia e+ 
product. These non-GMO next generation sweeteners provide a clean sugar-like 
taste and enable product developers to replace a maximum amount of sugar and 
artificial sweeteners. 

"European Food and Beverage companies are already working on reformulating 
their products to reduce sugar and artificial sweeteners. Their commitment to 
provide healthier, naturally sweetened products to their customers is 
generating an enormous need for our plant based, non-GMO stevia sweeteners," 
says Luca Giannone, SweeGen's VP of sales and marketing. 

SweeGen is preparing for the approval of its stevia sweeteners by the European 
regulatory agency EFSA in the coming months. With its investment of over $100M 
in Europe, SweeGen is ensuring reliable and quick satisfaction of its 
customers' stevia-based sweetener demand.
