We utilize Maltitol in our sugar free confections. The term, “Sugar Alcohol”, is a term the FDA requires to be used in the Nutrition Facts panel to list a group of sugar substitutes called “polyols” which include Maltitol. Sugar Alcohol is neither a sugar or an alcohol. It is a hydrogenated liquid starch derived and processed from corn. Please be aware that excess consumption may have a laxative effect in sensitive individuals. We recommend that you consult with your physician before substituting any new product into your diet.
