Why We’re Updating Our Gummy Labels to ‘Sweetened With Allulose’

You may notice a new phrase on some Extract Labs gummy bottles and product pages: “Sweetened With Allulose.” We’re updating the wording we previously used, “sugar free,” to name the sweetener directly and make our ingredient language clearer.

This is a wording update. The recipes and ingredients have not changed. Here’s what the new language means and how to read it alongside your product’s label.

Why We’re Updating the Wording

A short phrase can leave a lot of room for interpretation. The earlier wording didn’t identify which ingredients provide sweetness. “Sweetened with allulose” names a sweetener already in the recipe.

Our goal is straightforward: clearer language that helps you understand what you’re buying. Naming the sweetener makes the connection between a product’s description and its ingredient list easier to follow.

The Recipe Hasn’t Changed

The recipes and ingredients have not changed. The new wording does not announce a new formula or the replacement of one sweetener with another.

Allulose was already part of these recipes. Naming it more directly helps explain the existing ingredients rather than suggesting something new has been added. When you compare products, keep using the ingredient list and Supplement Facts for the details of the specific gummy you choose.

What Is Allulose?

Allulose is an ingredient used to sweeten these gummies. It is processed by the body differently from traditional sugars such as table sugar, which is why its name can appear in an ingredient list while the nutrition panel treats it differently.

Allulose is included in total carbohydrates, while FDA guidance permits its exclusion from total sugars and added sugars declarations. This distinction concerns how allulose is listed on a nutrition label; it does not mean an entire gummy has no carbohydrates or calories.

The FDA’s explanation of sugars that are metabolized differently provides more context. For this update, the practical point is simple: the ingredient name and the nutrition declarations answer different questions.

How to Read the Label

The Strawberry CBD gummies label lists allulose among the ingredients. It also lists other ingredients, including maltitol and erythritol. “Sweetened with allulose” identifies a sweetener in the recipe; it does not mean allulose is the only sweetening ingredient.

Start with the serving size, then read the total carbohydrates, total sugars and added sugars entries. Next, check the ingredient list for the ingredients used in that product.

Read those parts together. The front-label phrase helps identify the sweetener, while the full label gives you the product-specific information needed to make your choice.

Finding Your Familiar Gummies

You’ll see the updated wording on familiar products across the gummy range. Use the product name, flavor and label details to find the gummy you know.

We want our language to be easy to understand and easy to check against the label. Naming allulose directly is one way to make that information clearer. The wording is changing; the recipes and ingredients remain the same.
