Intense sweeteners include aspartame, cyclamates, saccharin, sucralose, and Splenda and are used to add sweetness without calories.
Why do you use intense sweeteners?
Using intense sweeteners allows us to give our consumers the choice and variety they desire. They enable us to produce sweet, sugar-free or reduced sugar products that taste good and have fewer calories. Low calorie alternatives are important for those consumers who wish to moderate their calorie intake for the purposes of diet or weight loss.
Are intense sweeteners clearly labelled on your products?
The intense sweeteners that we use have been extensively researched and deemed safe to use by regulatory authorities. Clear labelling ensures we inform our consumers when we use them as ingredients in our products.
