Natural Zero Low Calorie Sauzen

We develop and produce sauces, spice mixes and syrups that contain up to 90% fewer calories than standard alternatives — without sacrificing taste. 

Not as a marketing claim, but as a technical reality that we have proven in production for our private label customers for years and recently under our own brand Natural Zero.

How it started

In 2017 we received a special request from a regular customer: develop a healthier sauce that is truly tasty. Not a light variant with a compromise on taste, but a sauce that consumers consciously choose because it tastes better and is better for them.

For Yvo Keijlewer, second-generation owner of Natural Spices and an avid athlete himself, this was exactly the challenge he had been waiting for. Together with his father Yvan — a product developer with decades of experience in herbs and spices — he began an intensive R&D trajectory.

The result proved to be a gap in the market.

What we do differently

Most "lighter" sauces are regular sauces with an adjusted recipe — less fat, less sugar, but still dozens of calories per serving.

We start the development process the other way around: we begin with the flavor objective and build the lightest possible formulation around it.

That yields results rarely seen in the market:

For comparison: a standard fry sauce contains on average 90-100 kcal per 100ml, a standard BBQ sauce 150-200 kcal. Our lightest sauces are at 3 to 7 kcal per 100ml — that's more than 90% less.

Not just sauces

We apply the same philosophy to other products such as spice mixes and syrups. We specialize in:

  • Salt-free spice mixes — for consumers and food professionals pursuing sodium reduction without taste concessions
  • Sugar-free spice mixes — for applications in foodservice, the meat industry and retail
  • Sugar-free syrups — as an alternative to traditional syrups in beverages, desserts and foodservice

From private label to own brand

For years we produced these formulations exclusively for other brands as a private label partner.

In 2026 we launched Natural Zero — our own line of extremely light sauces, developed from the same R&D expertise we have been deploying for our B2B customers for years.

Natural Zero is therefore not a new adventure. It is the public outcome of years of production practice.

International recognition: Tuttofood 2026 and World of Private Label 2026

The pioneer story of Natural Zero did not go unnoticed on the international market.

At Tuttofood 2026 in Milan — one of the largest food trade fairs in the world — Natural Zero immediately drew the attention of international retailers.

The combination of extremely low calorie values and a flavor profile that consumers actually choose was immediately appealing. No explanation needed — the numbers and the taste speak for themselves.

During the World of Private Label 2026 in Amsterdam, the world's leading private label trade fair organized by PLMA, both retailers and private label prospects visited.

Interest came from multiple directions: parties that want to purchase Natural Zero as their own brand, and parties that want to use the formulation as the basis for their own private label line.

Leads came, among others, from Germany and the Middle East — markets where demand for healthier sauces is growing strongly, partly driven by health awareness and dietary guidelines.

The trade fair experiences confirmed what we already knew: the market for extremely light sauces and healthier flavorings is ready.

And we are ready to serve that market — both with our own brand and via private label.
