Sugar may be public health enemy number one, but thankfully for Tate & Lyle Brits are still in love with baking. Sales of its sugary ingredients (not including Lyle’s Golden Syrup, which shot back into the spotlight last year with a sponsorship of The Great British Bake Off) have soared by 54% in the past year. The company says a growing appetite for sugar alternatives have particularly boosted sales of its sweetener-based lines, which include white and brown sugar with stevia and organic agave nectar. Sweet.
