Erythritol is claimed to have the taste of sugar without the calories of sugar.

To celebrate its launch, Nexba will give back one per cent of sales made between 1 August 2016 and 31 March 2017 to support Surf Life Saving in its work of keeping Australian beaches safe.

The new Nexba range is available in all Coles stores.
