Splenda Packets contain both dextrose and maltodextrin. Though Splenda is still significantly lower in carbohydrates than sucrose (sugar), it is not a zero carbohydrate product. Use sparingly with a low carb diet.

Frequently Asked Questions about SPLENDA® (Sucralose) What is SPLENDA® ? How is SPLENDA® made? Is SPLENDA® safe? What advantages does SPLENDA® offer versus other sweeteners? Can SPLENDA® be used in cooking or baking? How low are the calories in SPLENDA® ? Do I have to count SPLENDA® as a carbohydrate or sugar in my meal plan? Is SPLENDA® safe for children? Can pregnant and breastfeeding women consume SPLENDA? What is the role of SPLENDA® in a healthy diet? What types of products might contain SPLENDA® ? What is SPLENDA® ? SPLENDA® is the first and only low-calorie sweetener made from sugar and is the brand name for the sweetening ingredient Sucralose. It can be used in place of sugar to eliminate or reduce calories in a broad range of foods, including beverages, baked goods, desserts, dairy products, syrups, condiments and processed fruits. How is SPLENDA® made? SPLENDA® is made from sugar (sucrose) by a patented process that replaces three of sugar's hydrogen-oxygen groups with chlorine atoms. This exchange makes the resulting SPLENDA® molecule extremely sweet, about 600 times sweeter than sugar, and extremely stable. SPLENDA® is so stable that, unlike other sweeteners, it will not break down or lose its sweetness when used in cooking or baking, or when used in beverages, like carbonated soft drinks, which typically have a high acidity. SPLENDA® is also unable to be metabolized (broken down) by the body's food-digesting enzymes. This means that SPLENDA® has no calories! And better yet, because SPLENDA® is made from sugar, it tastes like sugar, so SPLENDA® can be used virtually anywhere sugar is used. Try it in all your favorite recipes. Is SPLENDA® safe? Yes. SPLENDA® has been authorized for use by the FDA for use by all persons and has been safely enjoyed by millions of consumers around the world in places like Canada, Mexico, and Australia. The sweetening ingredient in SPLENDA, sucralose, is one of the most thoroughly tested food additives in history. More than 100 studies on the safety of SPLENDA®, designed to meet the highest scientific standards, have been conducted and evaluated over the course of 20 years. SPLENDA® doesn't react with other substances in the body and is not broken down in the body. It has no effect on insulin or blood glucose levels and is appropriate for use by anyone wishing to reduce their caloric or sugar intake. Foods containing SPLENDA® do not require warning labels or information statements. No one is excluded from using SPLENDA®. The safety of SPLENDA® has also been confirmed by the regulatory agencies in a growing number of countries around the world. Further, the data from SPLENDA® studies were independently evaluated by international experts in a variety of scientific disciplines, including toxicology, oncology, teratology, neurology, hematology, pediatrics, nutrition and others. These experts unanimously concluded that SPLENDA® is safe for human consumption. Importantly, comprehensive toxicology studies have clearly demonstrated that SPLENDA® does not cause cancer or any other adverse health effects. As a result, SPLENDA® is safe even for individuals who consume large amounts of sweetened products on a daily basis. What advantages does SPLENDA® offer versus other sweeteners? SPLENDA® provides a high quality, sugar-like taste and is exceptionally stable under a broad range of processing, product pH, and temperature conditions. These qualities make it useful as a sugar replacement in virtually every type of food and beverage, including those previously unavailable in a good tasting, low calorie form. Can SPLENDA® be used in cooking or baking? Yes! SPLENDA® can be used in any cooking and baking recipe. SPLENDA® does not lose its sweetness even at the high temperatures associated with cooking and baking. Is SPLENDA® safe for children? The use of SPLENDA® to sweeten foods and beverages is not hazardous to a young person's health. One should note, however, that foods made with low-calorie sweeteners are not normally a recommended part of a child's diet, since calories are important to a growing child's body. Can pregnant and breastfeeding women consume SPLENDA? SPLENDA® can be used by all individuals, including pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers. Although SPLENDA® may be used as part of a healthy pre- and post-natal diet, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should talk to their doctor or nutritionist about the kinds of foods to eat to support their health, and their baby's health, during these special times. How low are the calories in SPLENDA? SPLENDA®, the brand name for the sweetening ingredient Sucralose, has no calories. A two-teasoon serving of SPLENDA® Granular or a single Low-Calorie Sweetener packet also has very few calories -- so few, that these are considered equivalent to zero under the FDA's nutrition labeling regulations. The small amount of calories in the SPLENDA® Granular and Packet products come from the presence of some common, natural food ingredients in these products. These ingredients, maltodextrin, for example, give SPLENDA® the necessary bulk so it can be used like sugar, but with only 1/8 sugar's calories. Both the Packet and Granular forms of SPLENDA® have only 2 calories per teaspoon, while sugar has 16, and a cup of SPLENDA® granular has only 96 calories, while sugar has 770. Using SPLENDA® instead of sugar can therefore significantly reduce the amount of calories, sugar and carbohydrates in many of your favorite recipes. Do I have to count SPLENDA® as a carbohydrate or sugar in my meal plan? No. Sucralose, the sweetening ingredient of SPLENDA, is not recognized by your body as a carbohydrate, although it tastes like, and is made from, sugar. It is not broken down by the body and, therefore, has no calories, nor will it affect your blood glucose levels. There is a small amount of calories and carbohydrate present in a single serving of either SPLENDA® Granular or SPLENDA® Low-Calorie Sweetener Packets (both equivalent to two teaspoons of sugar), however, the levels are so small that under the FDA's nutrition labeling regulations are considered equivalent to zero. Both the SPLENDA® Granular and Packet products have only 1/8 the carbohydrate and calorie content of sugar. This means that you can use SPLENDA® instead of sugar to significantly reduce the calorie, carbohydrate, and sugar content in many of your favorite recipes. What is the role of SPLENDA® in a healthy diet? SPLENDA® may be used as part of a healthy diet which includes a variety of nutritious foods in moderate portions. Because SPLENDA® offers the sweet taste of sugar without all the calories and is ideal for cooking and baking, it helps meet your demand for good-tasting, low-calorie foods and beverages. What types of products might contain SPLENDA® ? SPLENDA® can be used to sweeten low-calorie versions of all food and beverage products. Internationally, over 400 products ranging from soft drinks to ice cream are sweetened with SPLENDA®. The FDA has authorized the use of SPLENDA® as a general purpose sweetener. In addition to all foods, SPLENDA® may now be used to sweeten nutritional supplements, medical foods, and vitamin/mineral supplements. McNeil Specialty Products Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, developed and manufactures SPLENDA® for commercial use.
