Sugar Free / No Sugar AddedFor slimmers on the Atkins’ diet and diabetics we have a fabulous range of “sugar free”, or as is now being called “no sugar added”, low carb sweets and chocolate. Most of our sugar free products are sweetened with Maltitol. MaltitolMaltitol is a member of the family of sweeteners known as polyols or sugar alcohols. It is produced from natural starch and has an excellent taste, very similar to sucrose. Maltitol contains approximately 30% fewer calories than sugar and is non-cariogenic, i.e. it doesn't promote tooth decay. Diabetic ChocolateAll our Sugar Free Products are suitable for most diabetics or as part of a controlled diet or a low carb diet. We recognise that diabetes is complex and the requirements for its management may vary between individuals, therefore the usefulness of maltitol should be discussed between individuals and their doctor or dietician. Foods sweetened with maltitol may contain other ingredients which also contribute calories and other nutrients. These must be considered in meal planning. All our products are made with the highest quality ingredients resulting in an excellent taste. |
