PRESS RELEASE
Sureka Sugar Replacement Production Standards Approved and Filed in China, Confirming Full Regulatory Compliance
Stockholm / Shaanxi, China
Sureka today announced that its proprietary sugar replacement production standards have been formally approved, filed, and implemented in China in accordance with the country’s food safety regulatory framework. The standards cover multiple application-specific sugar replacement formulations, including solutions for beverages, baking, chocolate, dairy, and cold-processed products.
The approved standards are registered as enterprise food production standards (Q/YDTR series) and have been filed with the relevant Chinese regulatory authorities in line with national requirements. They are fully aligned with key Chinese food safety regulations and standards, including GB 2760 (Food Additive Use Standard), GB 14881 (General Hygienic Practice for Food Production), GB 7718 (Pre-packaged Food Labelling), and related microbiological, contaminant, and packaging standards .
The approved scope includes sugar replacement formulations designed specifically for:
- Cold-processed beverages and ice-based products
- Baked goods
- Soft drinks
- Dark chocolate and milk/cream chocolate applications
Each standard defines raw material specifications, processing requirements, hygiene controls, microbiological limits, testing methods, labeling rules, and traceability procedures, ensuring consistency, safety, and regulatory compliance across industrial production.
“This approval marks an important milestone for Sureka,” said Lucy Dahlgren, founder of Sureka. “By establishing and filing application-specific production standards in China, we are creating a compliant, scalable foundation for sugar reduction across multiple food categories — while meeting the highest regulatory expectations in one of the world’s most demanding food markets.”
The approved standards enable Sureka and its manufacturing partners to move forward with commercial production, B2B supply, and product integration within China, while also supporting cross-border collaboration with international brands seeking compliant sugar-reduction solutions for the Chinese market.
Sureka views this milestone as a key step in building a globally interoperable ingredient and compliance infrastructure, connecting applied nutrition science, industrial production, and regulatory trust.
