Mr. Wolf:

Thanks very much for the information. While I’m not that big a fan of sugarfree items, I am encouraged by your transparency regarding the use of ingredients in your products. I’ve been watching my transfat intake, and your clarification gives me a peace of mind. My gramps is a diabetic (2), so perhaps the next time I come across your store, I’ll be able to buy some for him, too.

p.s. no offense. you have a very interesting name. =)

I loove desserts, in fact when I go to a buffet I first check out the dessert counter. And having a diabetic dad (which makes me a good candidate) I am sooo glad to see Sugarnot open not one but two branches near me Podium and Megamall =D =D
I wonder if they use Equal or Splenda as sugar substitutes? =D

I guess the trick is remembering that these are only sugarfree and not CALORIE free (i.e. I’m sure they still use real chocolate, cream, eggs, milk, etc?). =)

Thank you for you!

I’ve been visiting your blogsite a lot lately since I’ll paying my parental unit a visit next week – and having a diabetic father, these (blog entry, sugarnot and you)are heaven sent. I also have my “must try resto.” list from your site as well.

Both my parents are insulin dependent. I’m sure they’ll be in heaven when I bring them there. There’s this danger though: of panic buying!!!

Dear Kayenne,

1. Potatoe Chips

Yes, we are using baked potatoe chips. As of now we are still buying them in bulk (imported – mahal!), but our R&D department is already working on a sugarnot! version.

2. Non Dairy Whip Cream

We are not using any [partially or fully] hydrogenated vegetable oils. We are using low TFA (trans fatty acid) oils / fats. Zero per cent TFA does not exist because tiny amounts of TFA are formed whenever oils are deodorised. Thus you will always have tiny amounts of TFA in every product that contains fat.

In lieu of the above, let us state that we just recently tied-up with Abbott Laboratories. One of the tasks at hand in this newly inked partnership will be Abbott providing us with all the pertinent nutrient facts (i almost said fats ) of our products. Ergo, we will be even more transparent with our customers pertaining recipe, cooking / baking procedure and ingredients.

As of today we already have product tags sporting the nutrient facts for most items in our showcase. For this purpose, we contracted another (foreign) laboratory. Cons hereto were, it’s very expensive and very slow (1 – 2 months per product). All the more we are very happy about our partnership with Abbott Laboratories.

Please contact us anytime in case you require more information and we will be happy to answer you.

Cheers,
Wolf Lambsdorff
