About Canderel
Canderel is the UK's leading low-calorie sweetener brand, commanding 28% of the artificial sweetener market. First launched in France in 1979, the brand arrived in the UK in 1983 and quickly became the country's most popular sugar alternative. The name combines 'candi' (sugar cane) with 'airelles', the French word for bilberries. The brand offers three core product lines to suit different needs and preferences. Canderel Original (yellow packaging) uses aspartame and acesulfame-k to provide a classic sugar-free sweetening option. Canderel Yellow contains sucralose, making it ideal for cooking and baking where heat stability is important. Canderel Green features the sweetest extract of stevia (Reb A), offering a naturally-sourced alternative. Product formats include convenient tablets for hot drinks, granular options that measure spoon-for-spoon like sugar, and on-the-go liquid sweeteners. Canderel Sugarly is their zero-calorie option marketed as teeth-friendly with a taste and texture similar to regular sugar. All products are designed to help consumers reduce sugar intake without sacrificing sweetness. Canderel is owned by Merisant Company and the UK operations are run by Merisant UK Ltd from High Wycombe. The brand is particularly popular among diabetics and health-conscious consumers managing their sugar intake.
