The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has determined that imports of erythritol from China may be harming U.S. industries by being sold at unfairly low prices and potentially subsidized by the Chinese government. As a result, they are moving forward with a final phase of investigations. The investigations began after a petition was filed by Cargill, Incorporated in December 2024. The USITC held a conference in January 2025 and has published its findings in a report titled Erythritol from China: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-751 and 731-TA-1729 (Preliminary).
Simple Explanation
The U.S. is checking if sugar from China is being sold too cheaply, which might hurt American businesses, and this might mean it's unfairly supported by China, so they're looking into it more to make sure everything is fair.
