   What is the difference between SPLENDA® Packets and Sticks, SPLENDA® Canister, and SPLENDA® Granular?


  • SPLENDA® Packets and SPLENDA® Sticks are ideal for front-of-house use. Place them in sweetener caddies and serve with coffee, tea, and other beverages patrons like to sweeten. Each SPLENDA® Packet and SPLENDA® Stick contains 1 gram of SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener and delivers the sweetness of 2 teaspoons of sugar. SPLENDA® Packets are the traditional presentation of sweetener that you're used to seeing in foodservice. SPLENDA® Sticks are a sleek and modern design that provides operators with unique tabletop options.
  • SPLENDA® Canister contains the same SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener formulation as SPLENDA® Packets and Sticks. The difference is our convenient new canister design. Just pop the top open, measure it out, and pour it in. Just one gram (3/8 tsp.) of SPLENDA® Canister is as sweet as two teaspoons of sugar, and sugar-to-SPLENDA® Canister conversions are simple using the conversion chart on the back of each SPLENDA® Canister or on this site.
  • SPLENDA® Granular sweetens cup-for-cup like sugar. It can be used to replace sugar in cooking and baking applications like cheesecakes, pies, puddings, mousses, and sauces, where sugar is used primarily for sweetness.

   If SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener Products contain maltodextrin and dextrose, how can they be considered "no calorie"?
