Sucralose 1 article

Made from a chlorinated derivative of sucrose, sucralose is a high-intensity sweetener used at very small levels. It provides far more sweetness than table sugar at small use levels and contributes essentially no bulk, so packaged foods may combine it with carriers or other sweeteners. It is common in diet drinks, protein powders, flavored supplements and some baked products because it is relatively heat stable. On labels, it belongs with non-nutritive high-intensity sweeteners rather than with sugars or sugar alcohols.
