BulkSupplements.com Sucralose Powder - Granular Sugar Alternative - Zero Calorie Sweetener - Artificial Sweeteners - Sugar Substitutes - Keto Sugar (250 Grams - 8.8 oz)

I just checked my history, and it looks like I ordered my first sucralose from BulkSupplements exactly two years ago (exactly almost to the day). My first order was for the 50 gram size, but I've been doing the 250 gram size since it's cheaper per grams, and lasts me about half a year. I ordered my fifth sucralose a couple weeks ago.Kind of neat seeing the company grow. The sucralose, for me, has always come in the foil resealable bag, though the powder _used to_ arrive dry. This meant that any time I got it out of the bag, the fine powder would get in the air, and I could taste it in my mouth even though I didn't directly put any in my mouth yet. It was good to see when they started to add a hint of moisture to the powder so that it would slightly cake up. No longer does the powder get into the air and into my lungs. Nice. Someone at the company is thinking. Also the label has changed over the couple years. It's a little more artistic now and seems to have more detail about the ingredients on it.I had a spare lead test around. I put a drop of my diluted sucralose water on it, and no sign of lead. Not even an hour or two later. That's a relief as some supplements out there have had even too much natural lead, arsenic, cadmium, and the like in them (as reported by Consumer Labs and media). Though I have no arsenic or cadmium tests to use.If you're curious as to how I use my sucralose: I bought a 4oz bottle with eye dropper. I put a metal funnel onto my bottle, then put two measured, level tablespoons of sucralose powder in the funnel, then wash it all down with filtered water into the bottle. I store the bottle in my fridge so that it doesn't go stale over the course of the week that it lasts. I dole out the drops as needed. Took a little experimenting. I do about three drops into a half cup of hot milk before bed. I do about ten into my big cup of tea (I like my tea sweet). I do about three eye dropper fulls into my big bowl of yogurt. I tried putting the powder straight into the granola I make by mixing it into the oats (dry ingredients mixed in dry and wet with wet before mixing it all together). I don't recommend this. There were too many spots where the powder didn't dilute enough and ended up tasting bitter and unpleasant. I think I'll try putting the dry sucralose powder into the wet ingredients first next. That or I'll go back to putting a couple eye droppers full into the wet ingredients. Oh, and I was using the "pinch" and "tad" measuring spoons to measure out the powder for making the granola. If you're going to follow my example, I recommend buying at least two 4oz bottles at the same time. I ordered a second one later, so that one can go in the dishwasher while I use the second one. The eye dropper in the second bottle has a larger opening, so its drop of diluted sucralose is bigger and sweeter. It's annoying trying to remember how many drops I need from the different bottles.As for suggestions for improving the product, I might ask the company to consider putting the sucralose powder in a small plastic container with a twist on lid. Would be easier to put my measuring spoons in that than the foil bag. I get powder on my hands when trying to reach my short spoons into the bag. This won't keep me from buying the product yet again, but it would be nice to have.

I did not measure the mass on the package I received, so cannot comment on how precise the measurement of quantity is. However, I can say this: The product is exactly what is advertised. It is a fine white powder and can give off dust easily, it's not coarse granules like table sugar.I inhaled part of the dust cloud from ripping the package open and I have never been more conflicted. On the one hand, I really wanted to sneeze and blow my nose and get the dust out, but on the other hand, for the next five minutes, everything smelled and tasted sugary sweet.Also, it's sucralose - so it stays in your mouth about as long as regular sugar does. No twenty hour aftertaste like aspartame.I made a batch of kool-aid, and found that about a quarter to half teaspoon of pure sucralose will sweeten a gallon of kool-aid properly.If you're making large containers of drinks that use a lot of sugar and want a better alternative, this is definitely the way to go. Splenda itself is about 1/600th sucralose, with the rest being an inert, soluble filler, so that it can be measured and used in the same volumes as table sugar. Buying raw sucralose from Bulk Supplements cuts my costs on artificial sweeteners by about 80% based on the price of Splenda here on Amazon.This pouch comes out to a bit more than half of a standard 16Oz Mason Jar. I did not measure the exact volume.When I run out, i will be buying from here again, their prices are fantastic and their quality matched my expectations.

Some batches contain unknown contaminants that may be dangerous. It is supposed to be a white power that is clear when dissolved in water, but some buyers like me are getting a product that is BROWN instead.I've bought other brands of Sucralose concentrates without any problems, and when I bought this one I picked it because of its lower price without looking at the negative comments about some packages being off in color, smell, and taste. Unlike the Splenda brand products are are diluted with other things to better mimic sugar, Sucralose concentrates are so constructed that first time users often complain about the aftertaste because they've used hundreds of times more than was needed. Because there are so many complaints from first time users of the concentrates, I didn't pay any attention to this product having only 4 of 5 stars or bother reading the complaints before ordering.After seeing this stuff wasn't right, I read the complaints and question here to realize that others have complained about this brown muck for several months, and they are still shipping the product with this problem. Because these concentrates only require a tiny amount, a package normally lasts me for a year or more, and I've never had any go off before. This seller has blamed Amazon for not storing the product correctly, which is not the problem with these bad batches. While I've seen complaints from Amazon workers about it being in the 90's F during summer in the warehouses, Sucralose is stable at temps lower than 120C or 250F. It is so chemically stable that sewage treatment plants in some places worry about the amount of it passed via human feces that cannot be removed from wastewater.This stuff I received was almost white with a slightly tan tint, but it turned dark brown like coffee when I added distilled water. As soon as I added the water and stirred it, I also noticed it had a "funky" smell sort of like moldy bread and vinegar mixed together. It wasn't as strong as putting your nose to a vinegar bottle, but very noticeable with the jar at arms length, and I have REALLY long arms!. The remaining distilled water in the jug tasted and smelled fine, so it was definitely this powder. I'd already tossed the pouch in the trash have pouring the contents into a jar, so it was too late to return the product or tell what the packet smelled like.I have a degree in Biology and took several Chemistry courses as well, and this isn't just a product past it "sell by date". This is a foodstuff that contains muck that it should not.After reading the questions and other reviews, I realized that others claim this product is a pure white power and clear when dissolved in water. This is really SCARY, because it means this company has a MAJOR problem with its quality control measures and is shipping products that contain unknown contaminates. Since my batch obviously contained something it should not have, I am very glad that its colour and smell warned me before anyone ingested it.

You only need a pinch to sweeten a cup of tea or coffee. A little goes a long way

Combined in one order with a set of measuring spoons, this purchase was large enough to earn free shipping. The order arrived sooner than I had expected, delivered by the USPS. They delivered on Sunday, an unnecessary expense, IMHO. There is just no telling what Government agencies are liable to do.I wish I had ordered 500 grams rather than 250. I had no idea of the physical dimensions of the 250 gram package. (Quite small, actually) Nor did I understand, despite considerable Web commentary on the topic, how little sucralose is needed to sweeten quite a large volume of liquid. BulkSupplements could do a good turn by clearly explaining these issues.The product's packaging is fine in a stable setting, such as at home. However, it is not practical for travel or for long-term storage once opened. Expect to enclose the packet in a zip-lock bag or (better) to transfer it to a well sealed bottle. Better if BulkSupplements provided the product in a wide-mouth bottle.I've recycled a 50 ml squeeze bottle that originally contained sucralose in dissolved form. The bottle dispenses a repeatable squirt of liquid sweetener. It's convenient for travel due to its flip-top closure. You can find it in better supermarkets.The purchased liquid sweetener includes sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate as preservatives. Literature on the Web suggests that non-nutritive sucralose liquid sweetener will "keep" indefinitely at room temperature with these common preservatives. Since I lack access to them, I take a five-pronged approach to keeping my liquid sweetener fresh. First, I rinse the bottle with filtered tap water (which contains trace chlorination in my city). Second, I allow a mild solution of sodium percarbonate (which produces hydogen peroxide, a bleach) to soak the bottle for 15 minutes. Third, I discard that solution and refill the bottle with filtered tap water. Fourth, I add sucralose to form a solution in concentration appropriate for convenient use. (Example: The bottle as purchased is labelled as dispensing "sweetness" equivalent to one teaspoon of sugar per squeeze.) Fifth, I keep the bottle in the refrigerator.BTW, I feel safe using sodium percarbonate to disinfect my reusable bottle because (1) small concentrations of sodium percarbonate are known to be potable, and (2) a scientific paper I found on the Web (from Brazil, of all places) shows that sodium percarbonate fails to break down sucralose.
