Splenda Stevia Sweetener

Splenda Stevia is a zero-calorie sweetener brand that has become a global leader in the sugar alternative market. Originally, the Splenda brand was developed through a partnership between Tate & Lyle and Johnson & Johnson. While the original sucralose-based Splenda was the flagship, the Stevia line was introduced to meet growing consumer demand for plant-based, natural sweeteners derived from the Stevia rebaudiana plant.

In 2015, Heartland Food Products Group acquired the Splenda brand from Johnson & Johnson's subsidiary, McNeil Nutritionals. Since then, Heartland has managed the global supply chain, manufacturing, and marketing for Splenda. The production of Splenda Stevia involves sourcing high-quality stevia glycosides, which are then blended and packaged primarily in the United States, specifically at Heartland's facilities in Indiana.

Today, Splenda remains one of the most recognized sweetener brands in the world. Its ownership under Heartland Food Products Group has allowed the brand to expand into various formats, including liquids, granulated powders, and tablets. As of 2026, Heartland continues to be the ultimate owner, maintaining a strong focus on innovation within the health and wellness sector from their headquarters in Carmel, Indiana.
