Stevia To Make Splash On Sweetener Market

NEW YORK— Stevia products are poised to make a splash, according to "Trends in the U.S. Market for Sugar, Sugar Substitutes and Sweeteners," a new report from Packaged Facts.

The composition of the market may shift with the introduction of stevia extracts, continued growth of organic and less-refined sugar categories, and the decline of saccharin.
