Press Release - July 2010

INDIANAPOLIS - Heartland Sweeteners, known for its array of sugar-free sweeteners with health benefits, has created Ideal® Confectionery, the world's first and only low-calorie powdered sweetener made with the natural ingredient xylitol.  In addition, the company is also announcing Ideal® Brown, which measures cup for cup like brown sugar and is perfect for baking.  These are the first low-calorie brown and powdered products that will sweeten without sugar.

Ideal® Confectionery provides all the flavor of your favorite buttercream frosting, without using sugar – especially important for those with diabetes and calorie-conscious individuals.  Plus, Ideal® Confectionery has 130 fewer calories per cup than sugar, and xylitol, the key ingredient in all Ideal® products, is known to effectively reduce tooth decay.

Performing as well as brown sugar in muffins or marinades or sprinkled on oatmeal, Ideal® Brown has the texture and taste one expects from traditional brown sugar. Yet Ideal® Brown contains zero calories and just 1.5 carbohydrates per serving.

“We have been developing and testing Ideal® Brown and Confectionery sweeteners for months and are pleased to be signing additional customers each week,” said Eddie Pellegrino, VP sales. “The Ideal® line of sweeteners has been very successful, and we look forward to further innovation in the future. Ideal® is the best-tasting sugar substitute on the market and does not have the bitter aftertaste often associated with many varieties of stevia.”

Ideal® Confectionery will be sold in 16-ounce packages, equal to a standard size box of powdered sugar. Ideal® Brown will be sold in 10.6-ounce packages, with equivalent sweetness to a 2-lb box of brown sugar.
