21 Apr 2015 --- Tate & Lyle has announced the exit from the substantial part of its European Bulk Ingredients business and the re-structuring of its Splenda Sucralose business to further focus on and strengthen Speciality Food Ingredients. The move comes after months of speculation about the possible sale of Splenda, most recently to Japanese firm Ajinomoto. Splenda will remain within the group, but all production will move to its US plant, with the closure of its Singapore plant.
