Isomalt in the diet - sugar reduction & better Nutri-Score

The Nutri-Score is a decisive factor for the success of food products in retail. Products with a better Nutri-Score enjoy greater acceptance among health-conscious consumers.
Benefits of Isomalt for the Nutri-Score:
As Isomalt reduces the sugar content but still offers a pleasant sweetness, it can help to improve the Nutri-Score of confectionery, ice cream or bars.
