Altist has introduced two new low-sugar spread products, aiming to align with the growing "healthy pleasure" trend where consumers seek enjoyable ways to manage their health. The new offerings, "Low-Sugar Milk Spread" and "Low-Sugar Kouign-Amann Spread," are now available at select GS The Fresh stores.
These spreads utilize allulose, an alternative sweetener, to deliver sweetness without the high sugar content. The "Low-Sugar Milk Spread" contains less than 1 gram of sugar and offers a savory, creamy milk flavor. The "Low-Sugar Kouign-Amann Spread" is designed with less than 3 grams of sugar, capturing the rich caramel taste characteristic of the French pastry.
Both products are versatile, suitable for spreading on toast or crackers, and can be used as ingredients in home cafes or baking. To celebrate the launch, Altist is offering a special promotion for two weeks. The company, established in 2014, focuses on research and development of foods using alternative ingredients like plant-based meat, stevia, and allulose, and already exports to markets in the U.S. and Europe.
