Tate + Lyle Light Brown Soft Pure Cane Sugar

Tate + Lyle is one of the most iconic British brands, with a history dating back to the late 19th century when Henry Tate and Abram Lyle established their respective sugar refineries in London and Liverpool. The two companies merged in 1921 to form Tate & Lyle. This specific product is Fairtrade Light Brown Soft Pure Cane Sugar, which is traditionally refined in the United Kingdom, specifically at the Thames Refinery in Silvertown, London.

While the original Tate & Lyle PLC company continues to exist as a global provider of food and beverage ingredients, the consumer sugar brand was sold in 2010. Today, the Tate + Lyle sugar brand is owned and operated by American Sugar Refining, Inc. (ASR Group), the world’s largest vertically integrated cane sugar refining company. Despite the change in ownership to an American parent company, the production for the British market remains deeply rooted in its historic London facilities.
