Sucralose manufacturer Guangdong Food Industry Institute/L&P Food Ingredient Co today announced that the US International Trade Commission in Washington DC has extended the target date of its final decision in the sucralose case, from 25 March to 3 April.

The Section 337 patent dispute was filed against the company by its main competitor, Tate & Lyle Corporation.

“GDFII/L&P was the first company to manufacture sucralose outside of the US, and continues to be committed to meeting its customer needs of high capacity and superior grade sucralose in the growing sucralose market in the US and elsewhere, and remains confident of a positive outcome once the ITC issues its final determination,” said Sanyong Wang, a corporate officer of GDFII/L&P.

Bassam Faress, spokesperson of GDFII/L&P and director of sales/​marketing at Ingredients Specialties, a global alliance partner of GDFII/L&P, added: “We continue to look forward to this anticipated, positive final ruling as we move ahead with our strategic marketing and expansion plans for Sucralose.”
