Cumberland Packing Corporation

Cumberland Packing Corporation

Cumberland Packing Corporation [1] is privately owned company located at 2 Cumberland Street Brooklyn, New York City.

The company was founded in 1957 by Benjamin Eisenstadt and is best known as the manufacturer, distributor and marketer of Sweet'n Low[2], the saccharin-based zero calorie sweetener sold in pink packets.

Cumberland Packing began as a tea bag factory prior to the invention of Sweet’N Low. Using modified tea bagging equipment, the company was the first to package sugar in packets, breaking tradition with less-sanitary sugar bowls that were common on restaurant tabletops at the time.

The company received Federal Trademark Registration Number 1,000,000 for the Sweet’N Low musical scale logo.[1][2]

There have been over 500 Billion Sweet’N Low packets produced.[3]

Cumberland Packing employs 400 people and continues to manufacture table top sweeteners at the company’s original manufacturing facility, across from the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Cumberland Packing produces other table top sweeteners, including NatraTaste [3], an aspartame-based zero calorie sweetener and NatraTaste Gold [4], a sucralose-based zero calorie sweetener and Sweet One [5], a zero calorie sweetener made with acesulfame potassium.

The company is also the maker of Sugar In The Raw [6] natural cane turbinado sugar and Stevia Extract In The Raw [7] all-natural zero calorie stevia-based sweetener.

In addition to sweetener products, Cumberland Packing produces Butter Buds [8] all natural, fat and cholesterol-free butter-flavored granules and Nu Salt [9] sodium-free salt substitute.

Cumberland Packing Corp. owns Butter Buds Food Ingredients, a Racine, Wisconsin-based manufacturer of all natural dairy concentrates and functional flavor ingredients.
