What does Ritas use to sweeten the Sugar-Free Italian Ice flavors?
We sweeten our Sugar Free flavors with a combination of sugar alcohols and sugar substitutes. In addition to sorbitol, we also use the sweetener Aspartame, also known as NutraSweet™, in our Cherry, Mango-Peach, Pineapple, Root Beer, and Tangerine Sugar Free Italian Ice flavors, and the sugar substitute Sucralose, also known as Splenda®, in our Chocolate and Pink Lemonade Sugar Free Italian Ice flavors.
