When did SugarWise change its ingredient list (year)?
Executive summary
Available sources do not record a year when "SugarWise" (the supplement-brand sites) changed their ingredient list; the sources instead include current product pages and the independent certification body Sugarwise’s organisational history and procedures [1] [2] [3] [4]. Reporting on the certification body dates back to at least 2016–2019 [5] [6] [4], but none of the provided pages state a specific year for an ingredient-list change for the commercial product named "SugarWise" [1] [2] [7].
1. Why the question is muddled: two different "Sugarwise" entities
The material in the search results mixes two distinct things: an international certification body called SUGARWISE that tests and certifies food products for low “free sugar” content (organisation pages, certification procedure, and history) and one or more commercial dietary supplements marketed as "SugarWise" or "SugarWise™" with ingredient lists on their retail/brand sites (official product pages and merchants) [3] [6] [4] [1] [2] [7]. The certification body’s public record and the supplement sellers’ product pages are separate sources and the available results do not document a timeline tying an ingredient-list change in the supplement to any action by the certification body [3] [1].
2. What the certification-body sources say about history and timing
Documents from the SUGARWISE certification organisation include an “About” page and a formal certification-procedure page, with web content dating from 2016 to 2023 in the snippets: a Food Dive story on the SUGARWISE test ran in 2016; the certification procedure page is dated April 28, 2019; the organisation’s “products” page was updated April 17, 2023; and the “about” page shows August 16, 2019 — showing sustained activity across those years [5] [6] [8] [4]. Those pages describe the test, standards and expansion (over 500–700 certified products, 70 countries), but they do not mention any change to an ingredient list of a separately branded supplement called SugarWise [8] [3].
3. What the supplement-brand/retailer pages show — and what they don’t
Multiple commercial sites for a dietary supplement called SugarWise (different domain names and retailer listings) present ingredients and health claims on product pages [1] [2] [7] [9]. Those pages list ingredients—turmeric, cocoa bean extract, pine bark extract, various botanicals—and make claims about blood sugar and cardiovascular support [1] [2] [7]. None of those product pages or retailer listings in the provided results include a dated changelog or state when their ingredient list was altered. Therefore, available sources do not mention a year when the supplement's ingredient list changed [1] [2] [7] [9].
4. Possible reasons you can’t find a date in these sources
Manufacturers often update product formulations without prominent public timelines; retailers may refresh product copy and domains can duplicate content. The certification body SUGARWISE focuses on sugar-content testing and certification standards rather than tracking formulation changes of separately branded supplements, which explains why organisation pages discuss procedure and scope but not product-level ingredient-change histories [6] [4] [3]. The product-brand pages present the current formulation and marketing claims but do not provide historical records or revision dates in the excerpts provided [1] [2] [7].
5. How you can get a precise answer (next steps)
To find a year of change you will need a source that explicitly documents a formulation change: archived product pages (e.g., Wayback Machine snapshots of the brand sites), official press releases from the supplement maker announcing reformulation, regulatory filings (if any), or retailer ingredient lists with timestamps. None of the provided search results include those archival or regulatory timestamps; they only show current product pages and the certification body's materials [1] [2] [7] [3].
6. Competing perspectives and limitations in the record
One perspective is that the supplement-brand "SugarWise" changed ingredients at some point — a plausible corporate practice — but available sources do not document it. Another perspective is that the SUGARWISE certification organisation (an unrelated, UK-origin body) is being conflated with the supplement brand; its records center on sugar-certification standards and do not record ingredient-list changes for commercial supplements [3] [6]. I cannot confirm a year because none of the provided sources state one; claiming otherwise would violate the available evidence constraint [1] [2] [7] [6].
If you can provide an archived product page, a press release, or allow me to search other sources (Wayback snapshots, regulatory filings, or news archives), I can attempt to locate a specific year for the ingredient-list change.
