Is sucralose keto?

What it is

Sucralose is made from sugar but is not digested as sugar, and it adds no carbs. It is so sweet that powdered products need a bulking agent, usually dextrose or maltodextrin.

That bulking agent adds just under a gram of carbs per packet (labeled zero because it is under a gram) and about half a gram per teaspoon of granulated sweetener. It adds up in baking. Liquid sucralose has none.

How to count it

Adds no meaningful carbs on its own.

No carbs themselves, though packets are often bulked with dextrose.
