The General Directorate of Environmental Health (DIGESA) issued a letter on March 20, 2018 confirming approval of the two next generation stevia sweeteners.
This followed a review of the composition and manufacturing process of SweeGen's non-GMO Reb M and Reb D stevia leaf sweeteners, with documentation submitted to the organization last year.

"We are excited to introduce both of our non-GMO Reb M and Reb D stevia leaf sweeteners to food and beverage manufacturers in Peru," said Katharina Pueller, director, natural sweetener business of SweeGen.
