Tate & Lyle taps BioHarvest for plant-based sweeteners
In the United Kingdom, Tate & Lyle PLC and BioHarvest Sciences Inc. have broadened the scope of their joint sweetener development program to include multiple plant‑based sweetener molecules.
The expanded collaboration builds on the initial agreement signed in 2024 and reflects strong technical progress to date, as well as Tate & Lyle’s ambition to equip food and beverage manufacturers with a flexible toolkit of sweetening solutions that can be tailored to different formulation needs.
The collaboration draws on BioHarvest’s Botanical Synthesis™ platform, which supports the development of plant‑based, non‑GMO ingredients, reducing the industry’s reliance on traditional agricultural extraction for rare or hard‑to‑source botanicals.
“The flexibility from the expanded collaboration with BioHarvest is critical as customers seek food and beverage category‑specific solutions that balance taste, cost and labelling requirements, while supporting sugar and calorie reduction,” Victoria Spadaro‑Grant, Chief Science and Innovation Officer at Tate & Lyle, said in a press statement.
