Nestle scientists find method to cut sugar in chocolate by 40%
Discovery may give company an edge as food producers face increasing pressure to make products healthier
Geneva
NESTLE SA says it found a way to reduce the amount of sugar in chocolate by as much as 40 per cent, a discovery that may give the KitKat maker an edge as food producers face increasing pressure from governments, health advocates and shoppers to make products healthier.
The world's largest food company has developed a process to alter the structure of sugar that makes it taste sweeter in smaller amounts, according to chief technology officer Stefan Catsicas, who declined to specify what that involves.
