Artificial Sweetener: Diet drinks, snacks.
A blend of neotame and maltodextrin that one company calls maltotame. Some food manufacturers illegally state maltotame in the ingredient lists on their products instead of identifying the actual additives. (CSPI rates maltodextrin, an ingredient made from corn starch, as safe).
