04-03-10	PureCircle Limited - Product Launches	RNS
RNS Number : 0603I PureCircle Limited 04 March 2010 PURECIRCLE LIMITED ("PureCircle" or "the Company") Stevia-based product launches increase in 2010 PureCircle (LSE: PURE), the world's leading producer of Natural High Intensity Sweeteners, including Reb A, is pleased to provide this update on the latest developments in the global stevia market. Stevia usage is expanding into a broadening range of applications worldwide. According to Mintel more than 60 new products containing stevia ingredients have been launched in the first two months of 2010, an increase of 36 per cent over the same period in 2009 with the beverage category up more than 140 per cent. With the support of major food and beverage companies around the world, stevia is continuing to gain awareness and share within the market place. Following Pepsi's successful launches and expansion of SobeLifewater® 0 calorie and Tropicana's Trop 50, the Pepsi Lipton Tea Partnership has added another major brand to the list of stevia sweetened products. In February the joint venture launched Lipton Iced Tea Lemon and Green Tea Peach Mango. The products are 100 per cent natural, with no artificial flavours, artificial colours or preservatives. The successful delivery of beverages using Reb A has led to its introduction into new categories. In the US new products in Unilever's Wish-Bone® salad dressing range include stevia Reb A as ingredient. These new products are available in such varieties as Italian and Red Wine Vinaigrette. In Australia a leading food retailer, Coles, has launched new, lighter buns made using high purity Reb A with sugar. 'Living Lighter Hot Cross Buns' contain 25 per cent fewer calories than standard Coles Fruit Hot Cross buns while delivering the same taste. Tabletop is another category experiencing the global momentum of stevia. Heavy USA marketing spend by stevia tabletop brands estimated in excess of $57m in media over the past twelve months has helped continue the advance of stevia's market share in the low calorie sweetener category which in turn has led to the introduction of leading brands in new markets. PureVia* tabletop brand, previously available in the United States, Australia and Mexico, has now expanded into France following the recent approval of the use of Reb A in the tabletop category. The expansion into France further demonstrates the growing global interest in stevia's all natural, great tasting, zero calorie sweetness.

	From: http://www.agrimoney.com/news/purecircle-and-imperial-take-swipe-at-ailing-hfcs--1379.html Imperial Sugar and PureCircle have taken a swipe at beleaguered high fructose corn syrup by teaming up to produce a range of low-calorie, alternative sweeteners for food and drinks companies. Shares in both companies jumped after they unveiled the 50:50 tie-up, Natural Sweet Ventures, which will sell sweeteners based on blends of Imperial's sugar and PureCircle's zero-calorie products refined from the stevia plant. The products will be sold as alternatives high fructose corn syrup, which many food and drink companies have replaced with other sweeteners following claims – which the HFCS industry contests – that it is linked to health problems such as obesity and high blood pressure. "They are being aimed first at the HFCS market," a spokesman PureCircle, which is based in the UK, told Agrimoney.com. The campaign against HFCS has taken a higher profile since it was reported last year that Michelle Obama, America's first lady, had banned products containing the sweetener from the White House kitchen. The risk of replacement with other sweeteners has prompted a difficult round of contract renewals among HFCS producers, such as Tate & Lyle, which analysts believe have been forced to accept large price reductions. 'First mover advantage' John Sheptor, chief executive at US-based Imperial Sugar , said that the joint venture would give the companies "first mover advantage", adding that the joint sugar-stevia range would provide an "attractive proposition" for customers seeking lower calorie sweeteners based on natural products. However the PureCircle spokesman added that the deal would not stop the stevia group "going about its own business", which had already brought it contracts with drinks giants such as Coke and Pepsi. Products containing sweeteners refined from stevia, a member of the chrysanthemum family, already account for 14% of the total US tabletop sweetener market, Nielsen data show. 'Big potential' In the City, the tie-up was well received by Evolution analyst Alex Sloane, who restated a "buy" rating on PureCircle shares, with a price target of 300p. "The involvement of Imperial Sugar, one of the largest sugar refiners and marketers in the Nafta region, adds further credibility to the claim that stevia is likely to become a mass-market ingredient over the medium term," he said. At rival broker Westhouse Securities, analyst Barney Gray also restated a "buy" rating, saying: "This is very exciting news for PureCircle given that the upside potential from a wide range of new reduced calorie products across North America is huge." Mr Gray added: "This joint venture model could also be rolled out across a number of other regions." More \| View thread (2) \| Respond \| Login to Vote up

	Posted by Eurospy from the Independent on Sunday === PureCircle, a company that makes Reb A, a natural, zero-calorie sweetener, is poised to make a big leap forward when it ties up with a big sugar company later this month to produce the first "lite" sugar. === News announced today of a joint venture (Natural Sweet Ventures) with the North American "Imperial Sugar Company" This is excellent news, rather than RebA being a sugar substitute it's now promoted and sold as a complement to sugar - this will bring us into the massive mainstream market and will be sold in liquid form and the more traditional crystallised form. Another big step forward, the management of PURE are doing a sterling job. More \| View thread (1) \| Respond \| Login to Vote up
