Sucralose

What is Sucralose?

Sucralose is a non-nutritive (low-calorie) sweetener that is structurally similar to sugar but 600 times sweeter.

Safety

Sucralose was granted approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1998 for use in 15 food and beverage categories. The FDA expanded the uses for sucralose in 1999, approving it as a "general purpose" sweetener. Sucralose has also been approved for use in foods and beverages in more than 40 countries including Canada, Australia and Mexico.
