Businesses are becoming more aware of stevia; Pepsi and Coca-Cola, for instance, have begun using stevia into their soft drinks as a sweetener. Stevia is also used by other producers of food and beverages products such as yogurts, candies, and processed foods like ketchup. Opportunities in the market are also increased by developments in stevia labeling. The new EU labeling update, which changes the product's name from "Steviol glycosides (E 960)" to "Steviol glycosides from stevia (E 960)," gives consumers additional transparency and information about the product's botanical origin. Consumer demand is predicted to be impacted by the change. According to Cargill's Ingredient Tracker, just about 25% of European consumers are aware with the phrase "steviol glycosides," whereas 64% are familiar with "stevia." However, as consumers are paying more attention to ingredients used in processed food and beverages, the awareness for “steviol glycosides” term is projected to increase over the period of time, which is expected to open new opportunities in the coming years.
