Non-gmo Organic Erythritol

Erythritol is a sugar alcohol, a type of carbohydrate that the body doesn't fully absorb. It occurs naturally in some fruits and fermented foods. It is typically produced commercially through the fermentation of glucose by yeast.

Erythritol is used as a low-calorie sweetener in a variety of food products, including baked goods, beverages, and desserts. It provides sweetness similar to sugar but with fewer calories and a lower glycemic impact. It is often blended with other high-intensity sweeteners to achieve a more sugar-like taste profile.

In the U.S., erythritol is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a sweetener. Studies suggest it is well-tolerated at typical consumption levels, though very high intakes may cause digestive discomfort in some individuals. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have also evaluated erythritol. Recent research has explored potential links between blood erythritol levels and cardiovascular risk, but more research is needed to understand these associations.
