Merisant Company is one of the world's leading manufacturers of zero/ low-calorie sugar substitutes. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of MacAndrews & Forbes and is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. Merisant markets ubiquitous brands in over 90 countries including Equal and Canderel, as well as natural sweeteners PureVia and Whole Earth featuring stevia and monkfruit extract.

The company was formed from Monsanto Company's tabletop sweetener business, which was acquired by a group of investors in 2000. It was acquired by MacAndrews & Forbes in 2014.[1]

In January 2019, Merisant launched Sugarly Sweet range of sweeteners exclusively for Amazon as part of the Amazon Accelerator Program, bringing a new brand from development to launch in just 90 days.
