What it is
Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol, also known as glucitol. It is found naturally in some fruits like apples and pears. It can also be manufactured from glucose, often derived from corn.
Why it's used
Sorbitol is used as a sweetener and humectant (to retain moisture). It provides fewer calories than sugar and is often used in sugar-free or reduced-calorie products like sugar-free candies, chewing gum, and baked goods.
Health notes
In the U.S., sorbitol is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is not a major source of calories and does not significantly impact blood sugar levels compared to regular sugar. Consuming large amounts of sorbitol can have a laxative effect. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated sorbitol.
Allergen info
Sorbitol is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
