Contains Less Than 2% Sucralose

Sucralose is an artificial sweetener made from sugar. It is about 600 times sweeter than sugar and does not provide calories. It is made by a process that selectively replaces three hydrogen-oxygen groups on the sugar molecule with chlorine atoms.

Manufacturers add sucralose to foods and beverages to provide sweetness without adding calories. It is often found in sugar-free or reduced-calorie products like diet sodas, baked goods, chewing gum, and tabletop sweeteners.

Sucralose is approved by the FDA as a high-intensity sweetener. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has also evaluated sucralose and established an acceptable daily intake. Some studies have explored its effects on gut bacteria and metabolism, but regulatory bodies consider it safe at typical consumption levels. Research is ongoing.
