Many clean label products feature non-genetically modified organisms (non-GMO) and organic ingredients. This assures consumers that the ingredients used were grown and processed without genetic modification or synthetic pesticides and they often avoid the use of artificial sweeteners like aspartame or sucralose. Instead, they may incorporate natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, or stevia. Clean label solutions in confectionery production may
prioritise allergen-free formulations, making them suitable for a wider range of consumers, including those with dietary
