What it is
Liquid sucralose is an artificial sweetener made from sugar. It is produced through a process that selectively replaces three hydrogen-oxygen groups on the sugar molecule with chlorine atoms. This chemical modification makes sucralose about 600 times sweeter than sugar and prevents the body from absorbing most of it.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add liquid sucralose to foods and beverages to provide sweetness without adding calories. It is heat-stable, so it can be used in baking and cooking. It is commonly found in diet drinks, sugar-free desserts, and tabletop sweeteners.
Health notes
Sucralose is approved by the FDA as a food additive and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS). It is not metabolized by the body, so it passes through largely unabsorbed. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have also evaluated sucralose. While generally considered safe, some studies have raised questions about its potential effects on gut bacteria and metabolism, though evidence is mixed and more research is needed.
Allergen info
Sucralose is not derived from any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
