BENEO encourages healthier indulgence with first toffees containing Palatinose™
BENEO used this year’s ISM Sweets & Snacks trade fair in Cologne, Germany, Jan. 27-30, to showcase and sample the first toffees with its functional carbohydrate, Palatinose™. The new product concept has been created to offer consumers a healthier toffee alternative. Palatinose™ replaces more than 30% of the high glycemic sugars contained in a standard toffee recipe, supporting a lower blood glucose response.
The increasing global focus on healthy nutrition means that more and more consumers are searching for guilt-free indulgence. However, worldwide market research has shown that for many this remains a challenge. For example, one-fourth of US consumers, always or most of the time, feel guilty when snacking. Half of German consumers and nearly two-thirds of consumers in Spain, Poland and France agree that there aren’t enough healthy sweets available
