Icon Foods enters distribution agreement with BioLotus Technology
The deal will bring BioLotus’ stevia-based sweeteners to North America.
After years of collaboration, resulting in the development of a new sweetener blend, Icon Foods, Portland, Ore., said it entered into an exclusive North American distribution agreement with China’s BioLotus Technology Lasa Inc.
Icon Foods will distribute high-purity RebM, RebA and enzymatically treated steviol glycosides on behalf of BioLotus. The agreement is an extension of the partnership the two companies have already forged, said Thom King, president and CEO of Icon Foods.
