Softdrinks producer Zevia has launched its new product line that is entirely sweetened with stevia.

The sweetening compounds contained in the stevia leaf is used by the company to sweeten all 14 flavours of Zevia Soda, four flavours of its sparkling water, three flavours of Zevia Energy and two flavours of Zevia Celebrations, as well as the company's tonic water. 

Zevia's new Non-GMO Project Verified stevia blend replaces the previous blend that included natural sweeteners erythritol and monk fruit. The new blend achieves a sugar-like taste without the aftertaste sometimes experienced from stevia.

"We are proving you can have all the bubbles, sweetness and flavor in soda without the empty calories, artificial ingredients and chemicals."

Zevia CEO Paddy Spence said: “Zero calories, great taste and simple, plant-based ingredients are what Zevia is all about, and this big step towards simple is a major milestone for the beverage category.

"We are proving every day that you can have all the bubbles, sweetness and flavor we grew up loving in soda, without the empty calories, artificial ingredients and harsh chemicals.”

In July 2015, Zevia became a Non-GMO Project verified brand.

The new Zevia products will be stocked by retailers in US and Canada.
