Acesulfame K is a non-caloric sweetener. It is used worldwide in over a thousand different products including foods and drinks like chewing gum, dairy products, baked goods, etc.
Sucralose is a non-caloric sweetener made from sugar and therefore, it tastes like sugar. Sucralose is produced synthetically. Sucralose is used in a wide variety of products, including beverages, baked goods, desserts, dairy products, canned fruits and syrups.
Sucralose and Acesulfame K are among the most-tested and most-used sugar substitutes worldwide. All three have an excellent safety profile. Numerous scientific studies demonstrate that these substances are safe for use as sweetening ingredients. The safety of these sweeteners has been evaluated by regulatory bodies all over the world (e.g. FDA in the US). Authorities rely on the safety evaluations of independent scientific advisory bodies such as the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA).
