Sucralose is the generic name for the sweetening ingredient in SPLENDA^® Sweeteners. Sucralose is an intense, high quality sweetener that is made through a process that starts with sugar and converts it to a no-calorie, non-carbohydrate sweetener. The result is a very stable sweetener that tastes like sugar, but without its calories. And, like sugar, it stays sweet even when it’s used in cooking and baking.
