|
One serving (8 oz) of SunnyD provides 100% of the daily value of Vitamin C to help maintain healthy gums and teeth. |
Which artificial sweeteners are used in Sunny D?
We are using either sucralose or a blend of neotame and acesulfame potassium (ace K). These sweeteners are used to reduce the amount of sugar and calories without compromising the great taste our consumers love and want from Sunny D.
Why does SunnyD use either sucralose or a combination of neotame and ace-K in its ingredients?
The decision on which sweetener(s) to use was based largely on which one(s) worked best to match the same sweetness and taste as the original versions of Sunny D or worked best with a particular flavor system. In addition, all three sweeteners have been thoroughly tested and approved by the FDA as safe.
Should I be concerned about consuming either of these sweeteners?
If these sweeteners couldn't be safely consumed we wouldn't use them. All three sweeteners have been thoroughly tested and approved by the FDA. Ace K has been safely used for the past 25 years in a wide variety of food and beverage products. Sucralose was approved by the FDA over 10 years ago in April, 1998. Neotame has been used since its approval in 2002.
Why do you refer to beverages containing artificial sweeteners as healthier choices when the safety of some artificial sweeteners has come under fire?
The sweeteners we're using have been thoroughly tested, approved by the FDA and safely used for years by food and beverage producers in a wide variety of food and beverage products. SunnyD recognizes the health issues related to increases in obesity and diabetes rates, particularly among children, and we want to offer our consumers choices to help them lead healthier lives.
