Carbs in this allulose?


#1

If I’m subtracting the erythritol, this comes out to -2 carbs. Only ingredient listed is allulose so where’s the erythritol coming from? Someone enlighten me please!

It looks like perhaps an erythritol-allulose blend where they mislabeled total carbohydrates by forgetting to include the sugar alcohol or mistakenly doing a copy/paste from another label to create this one and including erythritol when there is none.

Definitely an error. If the serving size is 4 grams, how can there be 6 grams of Erythritol?

If you’re asking for advice, and I think you are: they make this stuff, and they can’t figure out what’s in it. :roll_eyes: Whatever it is, it’s just useless carbs anyway. Spend your carb allowance on something better.

Another sign that there’s an error, 1.6 calories for 4 grams of sugar? If that were correct it would be more like 16 calories.

I looked online and this is pure allulose so no Erythritol (which wouldn’t have made a difference anyway). Allulose is zero carb and safe. Best sugar substitute as it actually behaves like sugar when cooking. Browns, caramelizes and dissolves in sufficient quantities to make simple syrup for sugar free pancake syrup if you want.

Ok thanks. I may just move on to a brand with a label that makes more sense :grin:

That actually wouldn’t have to be an error. The FDA requires allulose to be labeled as a sugar, but it’s only got 1/10th the calories of regular sugar.

It makes it impossible for us to do any subtracting to compute net carbs.

@OgreZed Oh right, I remember someone posted a thread about this and it really pissed me off. Big sugar money had to be behind that one. :confused:
