Spain, China, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Brazil, and Serbia – over 30 countries participated, and hundreds of visitors gathered at the International Food and Beverage Exhibition "Prodexpo".

A unique novelty at the EFKO stand this year is candies containing the sweet-tasting protein brazzein. It does not raise blood glucose levels or cause an insulin response. EFKO-Art confectionery launched sales directly at the exhibition using a telegram bot with user-friendly navigation.

"Being among the first to try a new product is intriguing. If you pretend to be a sugar sommelier, the candy is so sweet – it's hard to believe it's sugar-free. There is not at all any flavor distinctive for artificial sweeteners. It's like fudge from childhood!"

Dmitry Kudryashov, Tevian Company

"Great flavor. It doesn't seem like there's no sugar at all. Speaking as someone who has experienced health issues, it's crucial to cut down on sugar in your diet. If this candy doesn't increase blood glucose or impact your constitution, it's a real miracle!"

Anastasia, expo visitor

"I believe candies like this represent a genuine move towards a beneficial future. The flavor of the glaze is very pleasant. The endocrinologist recommended that I stop consuming sugar. Now I know what to replace it with."

Elmira Tyunieva, expo visitor

"The taste is rather unique – I enjoy it. You can feel the natural chocolate. Usually, I try to steer clear of sugar, but occasionally I crave it. You don't need to hold back with candy like this. And it's wonderful that there will be no guilt about health and figure."
