Crystal Light and sucralose

I have liquid glucosamine supplement that has sucralose as an ingredient and
I was wondering the same thing.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Maybe so, and I also noticed that popcorn when I was looking at
labels of same. (My daughter likes it. I prefer to get plain
corn for her and doctor it here though.)
