ZERO CALORIE SWEETENER
Summary
This zero-calorie sweetener is primarily composed of dextrose and stevia leaf extract, which are common in sugar substitutes. While stevia is a natural sweetener, the product is considered ultra-processed due to its formulation and the presence of additives. The processing level limits its score despite the absence of harmful artificial sweeteners or seed oils.
