Southeast Asian syrup players like MONIN and DRiPP are responding to growing health trends by introducing sugar-free options. DRiPP, for example, showcased its new Zero Calorie syrup range at SIAL InterFOOD 2024, offering vanilla, caramel, and hazelnut flavors sweetened with erythritol and sucralose.
In June 2024, MONIN introduced a new line of sugar-free syrups in Vanilla, Hazelnut, and Caramel flavors in markets like Malaysia, offering baristas a healthier option for their drink creations.
The launch of zero-sugar syrups highlights the increasing consumer demand for healthier alternatives in retail or in foodservice settings.
