Brands

Everyday household brands trust Single Source to package and sell their products. Most are well established household names – all are quality products.

Tate & Lyle

T&L Sugars is a world leader in producing sugar from both sugar cane and sugar beet.

The largest refinery, which has been situated in London for over 130 years, produces the cane sugar used to make the world-famous Lyle’s Golden Syrup.

Their sugars and syrups have many interesting properties that have been used in a variety of traditional ways, providing a unique sweetness profile that is not easily matched. They can enhance flavours or mask undesirable ones, their preserving properties prevent bacteria, yeast and mould growth in jams and jellies.

In addition, they can be used as a source for fermentation and sweetness in beers, ciders and wines – or more simply to sweeten beverages!

Splenda

SPLENDA® low calorie sweetener is a sugar alternative made with sucralose: a sweetener that is made from sugar, tastes like sugar, but it’s not sugar.

Sucralose was first discovered by Tate & Lyle in 1976. Splenda® low calorie sweetener is made with sucralose, the sweetener that has a sugar-like taste.

A well established brand worldwide in markets such as Canada, Australia, Mexico and the United States of America, its success in these markets, particularly in the US, has been phenomenal.

Available in tablet and granular forms, Splenda is ideal for the family that enjoys sweet treats but is looking to eat more healthily.

Splenda Granular measures and sweetens spoon for spoon like sugar but has significantly fewer calories – just 2 calories per teaspoon, compared with 20 calories per 5g teaspoon of sugar. Splenda Tablets have the equivalent sweetness of a 5g teaspoon of sugar yet contains virtually no calories.

Provided it fits into the normal daily allowance, Splenda is suitable for people with diabetes because its sweetening ingredient, sucralose, has no effect on blood sugar and insulin (*). Sucralose is also heat stable, so it does not lose it sweetness even at high temperatures. Why not try cooking and baking with Splenda Granular – it makes for a sweet life!

Splenda is packed into sticks, sachets and tablets for sweetening beverages and for sprinkling and is available for personalisation. For cooking, bulk packs of 500g and 1kg are available.

LoSalt

LoSalt is the leading brand of reduced sodium salt in both retail and foodservice.

It is an entirely natural product made up of one third sodium chloride and two thirds potassium chloride.

LoSalt will not compromise the texture, flavour or cooking properties of food, and every time it is used, dietary potassium levels are given a boost. Sodium and potassium work together on controlling blood pressure. Sodium pushes it up and potassium pulls it down.

Choosing LoSalt can help reduce sodium in the diet as part of a healthy lifestyle, as research suggests a diet high in sodium may increase the risk of high blood pressure and developing osteoperosis, stroke and heart disease in later life.
