Overview
SPLENDA® Sucralose has reshaped the sweetener landscape in just a few short years by offering a solution for consumers looking for healthier options and great sweet taste.

Why such universal success? It boils down to the great sugar-like taste of SPLENDA® Sucralose together with its versatility in a variety of applications and the unstinting support, innovation and partnership that only Tate & Lyle can offer.

How It's Made

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.
