Bought these because of the reduced sugar. I wound up throwing out the entire package less 1/8 cup that I had put in my oatmeal. They left an awful chemically after taste. Either resign yourself to a little more sugar or find something other than craisins .

I try to eat healthy and I read the ingredients before I buy. Recently I noticed the reduced sugar craisens that I have been buying now have sucralose. I started using the reduced sugar craisens because I had high triglycerides. Yup, last time I will ever buy these. Less sugar should mean just using less sugar than regular craisens, not adding an artificial sweetener. Please start catering to healthy eating rather than to people who want to ingest artificial sweeteners. Disappointing.

Just finding out that sucralose is in this and will not buy again. I like many realize the number of articles talking about the problem of sucralose and glucose management. 50% less sugar should not mean adding sucralose. It also contributes to headaches because sucralose screws up the glucose management of the body. If I could give a negative star I would do so.

I thought these were just less sweet based on the "no artificial flavors" line on the front, but of course y'all are pulling a fast one and they have sucralose, which just is yucky to me. I wish you would just make some with less sugar. I ate them anyway bc I needed them for a recipe, but I won't buy them again.

While i did not find the taste of the product "horrible" like so many other reviewers, i was very disappointed and felt tricked to discover there was artificial sweetener used. This is something i avoid in all products, and i wish i had looked more carefully at the ingredients. But trusted that "less sugar" was really less sugar and not added artificial sugar. I will not purchase this again, but i will continue to buy the Original Craisins, which we have been enjoying for years. I would like to suggest that Ocean Spray try producing a Craisin with significantly less sugar without an artificial sweetener. I think many of your loyal customers would give that a try even if it meant a bit more of a puckery taste.

Though these have less conventional sugar, they are then over sweetened with Sucralose (which frankly I am avoiding, along with all the other artificial sweeteners). I, for one, long for the natural sharp tartness that cranberries have, but is being masked by the addition of too much sugar or sugar/sweetener combined. Please please please provide truly unsweetened cranberries for those of us who are working so hard to reduce our intake of sugar, and do not sweeten them for us with artificial sweeteners - we can choose the sweetener of our choice if we feel the need to add sweetness.

Was so excited for a natural product with half the sugar… bought a bunch. Was so disappointed when one of my kids said, “look Mom! These ingredients are no good!” To my shock I discovered that we had consumed sucralose :(. Ahhh! Please make some real ones with just 50%sugar for those of us who want to live healthy!

I bought these to snack on and didn't realize that the artificial sweetener sucralose was used. The package read "50% less sugar" and "no artificial flavors or preservatives" so I just expected them to be more tart. It should also state that it contains an artificial sweetener so people are completely aware of what they are getting. Sadly, I bought a large 20 oz. package which is headed straight for the trash. They have a really unpleasant taste and the "sweetener" overpowers the taste of the cranberries and leaves a bad taste in the mouth after eating them. This is the first time an Ocean Spray product has disappointed me & it was a doozy!

I purchased the 50% less sugar cranberries with the assumption that less sugarfmeansc they'd be less sweet. They tasted funny, chemically. Who would think that they contained sucralose- especially when it's touted on the bag that there are no artificial flavors or preservatives. But you use a chlorinated artificial sweetener. That is so deceptive! And reading through these reviews, you've been doing it for years. The rest of my 20oz bag is going in the trash

Dear Ocean Spray, how dare you trick your consumers in thinking you had “no artificial” written on the front of your bag then proceed to have sucralose added to the ingredients?? How about clearly adding “Artificially Sweetened” on the front of your bag rather than “Less Sugar” which we all clearly thought when purchasing the bag?? Purchased these for the first time in a while to use in a cookie recipe, never expected to have been deceived by one of my favorite cranberry companies. After getting caught up with other reviews, you clearly continue not caring. Now I have a gigantic bag that I have to either throw away or inconveniently go back to the store and stand on an endless line to return!
