PROFILE |
 |
How sweet are things at The NutraSweet Company? Two hundred times sweeter than sugar, to be exact. The company is the world's #1 producer of artificial sweetener aspartame. It sells its NutraSweet-brand aspartame to makers of food, beverages, and tabletop sweeteners in more than 100 countries. In all, NutraSweet is used in some 5,000 products. The company has also developed neotame, which is 8,000 times sweeter than sugar but still awaits regulatory approval. Aspartame was discovered in 1965 (and soon given the NutraSweet brand name) by chemical company Searle, later bought by Monsanto. Investment firm J.W. Childs bought NutraSweet from Monsanto in 2000; NutraSweet management also has a stake in the company.
