The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a GRAS (generally recognized as safe) No Objection Letter for Cargill's next-generation sweetener, EverSweet™, qualifying it for use in food and beverages.

Evolva and Cargill have agreed to begin the engineering phase for converting an existing Cargill manufacturing facility to produce next-generation stevia sweeteners (steviol glycosides). The ingredients are expected to be commercially available in 2016.

Food manufacturers are under pressure to reduce sodium but not to affect taste or functionality. Potassium chloride-based systems such as Cargill’s FlakeSelect and SaltWise product lines are one option.

"From Clean to Clear Label," "Good Fats, Good Carbs," and "More in Store for Protein" are three food trends* examined in the latest "T for Trends" webinar presented by Cargill's cocoa and chocolate business. Together with Innova Market Insights, the company has translated the trends into applications for the cocoa and chocolate industry.
