Why Sucralose?
Sucralose is a sweetener rather than a sweetening agent like honey or maple syrup. Sweeteners can be synthetic molecules or be derived from natural sources. Sucralose is a heat stable sweetener which is desirable as ketchup is often cooked during production. Sucralose provides the sweetness that would be supplied by sugar in the regular version but with 0 kCal and a sweetness index about 600 times that of table sugar.
Compared lists and differences of the two products
As Sucralose is perceived as much sweeter than sugar it is further along the label. Labels list ingredients in order based on proportion in the product. Yeast is also added to the Sugar Free version.
