TagaLite™ tagatose 

Under updated guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, tagatose is no longer required to be declared as an added sugar on the Nutrition Facts Panel. That means:


It does not contribute to Added Sugars

It does not inflate % Daily Value for sugar

It allows formulators to deliver sugar-like functionality without the label penalty


This is not a minor technical clarification. It fundamentally changes how tagatose can be used in modern formulation.

Get to know TagaLite better

Tagatose is a ketohexose, structurally similar to fructose, but functionally much closer to sucrose in real-world applications.


    ~90% as sweet as sugar

    ~1.5 kcal/g

    Low glycemic response

    Sugar-like functionality in processing

    Partial absorption with downstream fermentation


This is where it separates itself. You’re not just replacing sugar. You’re rebuilding the system with intention.
