A few years back the FDA and the EU gave Stevia the green light to be used as a general purpose sweetener in food and drink. Steviva Ingredient in particular has been capitalizing on the acidified food markets. We increased our ingredient sales five fold over the past year. We continue to see a very solid upswing in our ingredient sales for pure stevia and stevia fortified sweeteners from the beverage and condiment categories.

A product with a pH of less than 7 is acidic, while one with a pH of more than 7 is alkaline. An acid product tastes sour, and an alkaline one tastes bitter. If acidification is not controlled at a pH of 4.6, it might result in a dangerous toxin producing microorganism, known as Clostridium botulinum, which can grow on some foods. Since stevia and related products fall shy of a pH of 7, these are neutral in acidity and are generally recognized as safe by the FDA.
