What it is

Birch xylitol is a sugar alcohol that occurs naturally in small amounts in fruits and vegetables. It is typically made from xylan-rich plant materials like birch wood or corn cobs through a chemical process.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add birch xylitol as a low-calorie sweetener and a sugar substitute. It is often found in sugar-free or reduced-sugar products like ice cream, frozen desserts, and nut butters.

Health notes

Xylitol is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food additive. It is not metabolized like sugar and has a lower glycemic impact. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated xylitol and established an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI). Consuming large amounts of xylitol can have a laxative effect.

Allergen info

Birch xylitol is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
