Dear Migors
I am looking for products containing stevia or steviol glycosides in the range. So far I have only been able to find Alnatura Ice-Tea and Coca-Cola Life. Do you offer any other products sweetened with steviol glycoside? If not, why is the product range so limited?
Thank you very much for your reply.

Some stores also stock solid stevia glycoside sugar, if you haven't already seen it.
The price might also answer your second question.
@Steffi_Zmoos, thank you for your contribution. We'll be happy to clarify this with our nutrition experts and let you know how it goes. Thank you for your patience and best regards, Madlen
Hello @Steffi_Zmoos
As the health safety of the stevia plant has not been fully proven, stevia leaves may not be marketed as food or for sweetening food in Switzerland and the EU. However, the sweetener steviol glycosides, which is extracted from Stevia leaves in a complex chemical process, is permitted.
An important reason for the sparse use of stevia sweetener is its inherent licorice-like taste, which severely limits the possible applications for this sweetener. For technological reasons, it is also not possible to replace sugar with stevia sweetener or another sweetener in many products. The use of steviol glycosides from stevia is not permitted in organic products.
We do not have a complete list, but are happy to give you a few examples of products that contain steviol glycosides:
- 7up
- Farmer Croc kernels and nuts
- Zucristevia powder
- Zucristevia sweetener tablets
Best regards, Tamara
The real reason lies with the sugar industry. The "study" on stevia was paid for by them. You only have to search the internet to find it
There are millions of people in South America who sweeten with stevia. So far I have not been able to find out about any health problems!
I have been using Stevia (tabs and liquid, depending on the recipe) for over 20 years and have top blood values and no health problems.
