The Nutrition Business Journal has awarded a Scientific Achievement Award to the research organization ChromaDex for its role in developing quality standards for the individual sweet components of stevia.

The company worked in partnership with Cargill to set global analytical reference standards for the sweetener.

“The broad commercial application of stevia has long been anticipated, and our work with Cargill has set the standard for safety and quality,” said Frank Jaksch, CEO and co-founder of ChromaDex. “We have worked hard to be the leader in reference standards and we appreciate the validation of our work by Nutrition Business Journal.”
