Sugar Substitute - Types of Products That Contain Sucralose

Sucralose makes a wide variety of calorie-reduced products possible, including soft drinks, ice cream, dairy products and baked goods. One of the unique attributes of sucralose is that it can be used almost anywhere sugar is used. It does not lose its sugar-like sweetness even in applications that require heat or that are subjected to long shelf-storage. Sucralose is an only artificial sweetener made from sugar.It measures the same as sugar, which makes it more convenient for baking than other sugar substitutes.
Thus, products made with sucralose maintain their sweetness during cooking, baking, and throughout their shelf-life. In the United States, the FDA has granted approval for the use of sucralose as a general purpose sweetener, which covers all conventional foods and beverages, dietary supplements, and medical foods. In fact, sucralose is the sweetening ingredient in over 3,500 products worldwide, and may be used across a broad range of major categories including:

Baked goods and baking mixes Beverages, alcoholic Beverages and beverage mixes, Breakfast cereals Cheeses Chewing gum Coffee and tea Condiments and relishes Confections and frostings Dairy product substitutes Fats and oils Frozen dairy desserts and mixes Fruit and water ices Gelatins, puddings, and fillings Gravies and sauces
