Tate & Lyle's senior vice president and interim general manager of Stevia James Blunt has said that the company 'not in favour' of the impending sugar taxes. Instead the company would like to provide choice to consumers and customers with nutritionally balanced foods and will help customers to come up with those answers.

It was also explained that Tate & Lyle has a focus on optimised stevia solutions with Sweet Green Fields, which help customers replace part of sugar in their beverages with stevia sweeteners with a clean label solution.
