Our corn sweeteners do not contain any of the general categories of allergens such as: animal, egg, wheat, soy, nut, or their derivatives, wheat gluten, glutamates, benzoates, BHA and BHT. There is most likely protein present in the corn syrup that we use, and it is possible that a “trace” portion of this may have been derived from gluten, but it would only be trace amounts. However, there should not be any cases of gliadin intolerance associated with corn sweeteners that we use.

Low calorie sweeteners are safe for everyone except people with phenylketonuria, who should not use aspartame. Calorie-free sweeteners like aspartame, saccharin, sucralose and acesulfame-K won't increase your blood glucose level. The sugar alcohols -- xylitol, mannitol, and sorbitol -- have some calories and do slightly increase your blood glucose level. Eating too much of any of these can cause gas and diarrhea.
