What it is

Malic acid is a natural organic acid found in fruits like apples and pears. It can be produced synthetically through chemical processes for use as a food additive. Sucralose is an artificial sweetener made from sugar through a multi-step chemical process.

Malic acid is used as an acidity regulator and flavor enhancer, providing a tart taste. Sucralose is a high-intensity sweetener, providing sweetness with no calories. They are often found together in sugar-free or reduced-sugar beverages like iced teas and fruit drinks.

Both have been evaluated by international bodies like JECFA and EFSA.
