Crystal Light and sucralose
I have liquid glucosamine supplement that has sucralose as an ingredient and
I was wondering the same thing. -- - Bear Grrrrrrrr : o) 297/271/210 Highest weight 353 http://home.earthlink.net/~polarbear50/index.html "Jean B." wrote in message ... The bottled Crystal Light is sweetened with sucralose and acesulfame potassium. I think I have always seen Splenda in parentheses when I have run into sucralose in various ingredient lists. Does this mean there is non-Splenda sucralose? -- Jean B. |

Does this mean there is non-Splenda sucralose? Not at the moment. But sucralose is the name of the sweetener chemical. McNeil confused the issue a bit by calling both the sweetener, and the padded product Splenda, whereas with aspartame, the name brand for the sweetener chemical was Nutrasweet and the padded product was Equal. I think they prefer to say sucralose on the label so that people don't think it's the version with the maltodextrin, and also so they won't have to change the label when the patent runs out and they use generic sucralose. -- jamie ) "There's a seeker born every minute." |

Maybe so. It just seems to me that all other labels I have seen said Splenda, in parentheses. I wondered whether they were legally required to do so. Hmmm. Maybe I will check the Splenda product list.... Yes, the Crystal Light bottled beverages are on the list. -- Jean B. |

It's probably the ones that want the recognition factor of Splenda, same ones that use the Splenda logo in the corner of the package. Then there are a few products that don't even mention they're sugarfree on the label, but use sucralose in the ingredients, like several brands of microwave kettle corn. I guess they don't want most buyers to notice that it's artificially sweetened. -- jamie ) "There's a seeker born every minute." |

I prefer to get plain corn for her and doctor it here though.) -- Jean B. |
