Merisant Company is a United States manufacturer of artificial sweeteners, including Equal and Canderel.

The company was formed from Monsanto Company's tabletop sweetener business, which was acquired by a group of investors in 2000.

Merisant is privately held and headquartered in Chicago.

The Whole Earth Sweetener Company is a wholly owned subsidiary, which markets low-calorie sweeteners based on erythritol and stevia extract.[1]

In January 2009, Merisant Worldwide filed for bankruptcy to restructure and invest in its new stevia-derived sweetener PureVia,[2] emerging the following year.[3]
