Cumberland Packing Corp.
 PROFILE
There's no shame in being artificial at Cumberland Packing. The company makes Sweet 'N Low, the original pink-packaged, saccharin-based sugar substitute. It also makes Nu-Salt (sodium-free salt substitute), Butter Buds (butter-flavored granules used in place of butter, margarine, or oil), and Sugar In The Raw (turbinado sugar). Aside from the ubiquitous presence of Sweet 'N Low on restaurant tables, Cumberland Packing's products are sold by retailers and to food manufacturers worldwide. Cumberland Packing is owned by Marvin Eisenstadt and his family. Eisenstadt's father, Benjamin, started the company as a tea bag factory in the 1940s. The duo invented Sweet 'N Low (which took the US's millionth patent) in 1957.
