No Sugar Added, All Flavor: Why Apple Purée Works
Imagine this: you’re staring at a formulation brief. The marketing team wants a “no added sugar” claim. Regulatory warns about Prop 65. Your consumer wants taste without compromise.
Sound familiar? You’re not alone. Across food, beverage, and even pet care — everyone’s asking:
How do we keep things delicious without added sugars?
One of the most powerful (and underrated) answers? Apple purée.
Why Apple Purée Hits the Sweet Spot

Label-friendly: “Apple Purée. 100% Fruit. No Added Sugar.”
It’s not just sugar replacement — it’s a cleaner story.
Tough Regulations? Apple Purée Has Your Back
Between sugar taxes, FDA label changes, and consumer scrutiny, product developers are seeking alternatives that comply — without compromise.
Apple purée is the kind of label-friendly swap that satisfies compliance, marketing, and your customer.
