What it is
Crystalline sorbitol is a sugar alcohol that occurs naturally in some fruits. It is manufactured commercially by the hydrogenation of glucose, a process that converts glucose into sorbitol.
Why it's used
Sorbitol is used as a low-calorie sweetener and a humectant, meaning it helps retain moisture. It is often found in sugar-free candies, baked goods, and chewing gum.

Sorbitol is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is poorly absorbed by the body and can have a laxative effect in large amounts. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated sorbitol and established an acceptable daily intake.
Allergen info
Sorbitol is not derived from any of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
