Gatsby Chocolate Bar
Consumers have been yearning for chocolate that tastes great without derailing their quest for a healthier lifestyle. But prior to Gatsby, chocolate makers have been limited to sugar substitution as a source of calorie reduction.

Creamy and dreamy, it’s another win from a customer who sees the value of healthy indulgence, using EPG to dramatically reduce calories while delivering the great taste, texture and mouthfeel consumers expect.

“While food developers have numerous modern options to reduce sugar with low calorie alternatives, EPG is the only safe, extensively studied, and effective solution I am aware of that can properly reduce fat content while minimizing calories and maximizing flavor.”
