Sweeteners partnership

Tate & Lyle has announced the latest phase of its 30-year sucralose partnership with McNeil Nutritionals, through the establishment of a renewed Splenda Alliance.

The focus for the renewed partnership will be the development of the global market for Sucralose and the Splenda brand. This is an evolution of the long-term partnership following the strategic realignment announced in 2004. At that time, Tate & Lyle took over McNeil Nutritionals’ Sucralose manufacturing assets and responsibility for worldwide food and beverage ingredient sales, while McNeil Nutritionals retained ownership of the brand and the retail and food service business.

Both companies will partner on the continued development and promotion, including ingredient and brand protection initiatives. The new arrangements include terms for ongoing supply upon expiration of the current agreement.
