I thought this was a good price until I discovered that Equal was actually cheaper! Hence, I removed a star.

Good value! Tastes the same as the name brand! Saves lots of money! Thanks Amazon!

I'm not fond of using aspartame for a sweetener, but sometimes it's all I can find. The Sugarly Sweet Zero Calorie does a good job sweetening and I usually only need one blue pack. It dissolves instantly and is sweet, but with a bit of a bitter aftertaste. It works well as a sweetener if you're o.k. about consuming aspartame.

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener, sold under brand names such as NutraSweet® and Equal®, that has been in use in the United States since the early 1980s. It is used in many foods and beverages because it is much sweeter than sugar, so much less of it can be used to give the same level of sweetness.Aspartame is commonly used as a tabletop sweetener, as a sweetener in prepared foods and beverages, and in recipes that don’t require too much heating (since heat breaks down aspartame). It can also be found as a flavoring in some medicines.In the United States, artificial sweeteners such as aspartame are regulated by the FDA. These products must be tested for safety and approved by the FDA before they can be used. The FDA also sets an acceptable daily intake (ADI) for each sweetener, which is the maximum amount considered safe to consume each day during a person's lifetime.The FDA has set the ADI for aspartame at 50 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg; 1 kg=2.2 lb) of body weight per day.The EFSA, which regulates food additives in the European Union, recommends a slightly lower ADI for aspartame, at 40 mg/kg/day.To help put these levels in perspective, the FDA estimates that if all of the added sugar in the diet of an average 60 kg (132 lb) person were replaced by aspartame, it would result in an exposure of about 8 to 9 mg/kg/day.And according to the EFSA, in order to reach the ADI of 40 mg/kg/day, an adult weighing 60 kg (132 lb) would have to drink 12 cans of a diet soft drink (if it contained aspartame at the maximum permitted levels of use), every day. But in reality, aspartame is used at lower levels, and amounts found in soft drinks can be 3 to 6 times less than the maximum permitted levels. This means you would have to drink 36 cans or more to reach the ADI.

You should be aware that the amount of sweetener in these packets is not the same as in other brands of Aspertame. Two and one half packets of this label equals two packets of others

So great. Just like the other blue packets!! Great price

From the makers of equal. Good value!
