[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don't drink soda often, but were in Europe recently and got a pepsi.  It tasted gross --  like diet pepsi, so I checked the ingredient list.  It had sugar, but also sucralose.   After googling a bit, I learned that the soda companies were under EU pressure to reduce the sugar in their sodas, so replaced about 20% of the sugar with sucralose.  It's so disgusting! I'd rather drink 20% less soda, than have 20% of the sugar replaced with a gross chemical.  Or maybe they could just make it with less sugar, and it would probably still be sweet enough?  I was also excited to drink Lemon Fanta again -- it's really impossible to find in the US.  But sadly, I could only find sugar-free Lemon Fanta anywhere that I looked.  (It was gross, but actually not as gross as the Pepsi, because it turns out that lemon covers the sucralose taste better.)

Normally I think the EU food regulations are so much better than America, but they really dropped the ball on this one.  Just say no to sucralose, Europe!!!

It’s revolting. We’re in the UK often to visit family, and I won’t let my kids drink it. Most juices (especially those marketed to kids) have this as well. [/quote]
Does UK have to follow that recommendation since they aren't in the EU anymore?[/quote]
