SPLENDA® Sucralose is manufactured by a patented process which starts with cane sugar. A multi-step process manipulates the sugar molecule, selectively replacing three hydrogen-oxygen groups on the sugar molecule with three chlorine atoms. The body does not recognize sucralose as a carbohydrate; its structure prevents it from being broken down for energy, and therefore SPLENDA® Sucralose is non-caloric.
Tate & Lyle started developing these processes over thirty years ago. Today, our fourth generation manufacturing facility yields the highest quality sucralose and most reliable supply, all with uncompromising safety and corporate and environmental responsibility standards.
