Canderel Granular Low Calorie Sweetener

Canderel is one of the world's leading brands of low-calorie sweeteners, originally developed as an alternative to sugar. The brand became famous for its use of aspartame, though its product range has since expanded to include various formulations such as sucralose and stevia-based options. It is widely used in both granular form for baking and tablet form for beverages.

The Canderel brand was originally launched by the American pharmaceutical company G.D. Searle & Company in the late 1970s. Over the decades, the brand's ownership shifted as the sweetener industry consolidated. Today, Canderel is a flagship brand of Merisant, a global leader in the sweetener industry. Merisant itself is owned by MacAndrews & Forbes, a private American holding company. Manufacturing occurs in multiple locations globally to serve various international markets, with major distribution hubs in Europe and Africa.
