SodaStream introduces new flavors sweetened with stevia

AIRPORT CITY, Israel — SodaStream has launched a new line of flavors sweetened with an all-natural plant-based sweetener.

SodaStream said its stevia-laden flavors initially will launch in Europe, with U.S. sales expected to begin this summer. The initial flavors, with less than five calories per serving, include pink grapefruit, peach-pear, orange, lemon-lime, cranberry-apple and others.

"Diet flavors sweetened naturally with Stevia are another key milestone in our commitment to provide healthier alternatives to pre-packaged carbonated drinks," SodaStream CEO Daniel Birnbaum said. "Consumers can now make a smarter beverage choice, not only for the environment and their wallet, but also for the wellness of their family. We remain committed to continue empowering consumers with better, more innovative products."
