Explore how a Vietnamese functional beverage brand improved flavor quality, halal compliance, product stability, and retail growth through customized sweetener reformulation designed for Vietnam’s rapidly expanding premium health beverage market.


Client Background

Our client, a fast-growing RTD beverage brand based in Ho Chi Minh City, specializes in aloe vera drinks, bird’s nest beverages, and vitamin-infused fruit waters, serving health-conscious Vietnamese and Muslim consumers nationwide. 

As Vietnam’s beverage market rapidly shifts toward low-sugar, natural, and halal-compliant products across Vietnam and neighboring ASEAN markets, the company needed a cleaner, premium sweetener solution to improve product quality, strengthen retail positioning, and support regional expansion opportunities

Core Business Challenges

Before partnering with Shanghai Beimoo Biotechnology, the client relied on a mix of low-purity stevia extract (Reb A) and artificial aspartame to meet zero-sugar labeling requirements. These outdated sweetener formulations created taste, stability, and compliance challenges that were limiting market growth.

  • Low-purity Reb A created a bitter aftertaste and weakened natural beverage flavors
  • 69% of consumers rejected the original formula during blind taste testing
  • Artificial sweeteners conflicted with halal and clean label positioning
  • Exclusion from premium health-focused and halal retail channels
  • Tropical climate caused crystallization, flavor degradation, and texture separation
  • Product instability increased retailer returns and operational losses
  • Inconsistent quality limited sales growth and ASEAN market expansion
