Please, just take out 50% of the Sugar but don't add in Sucralose! Very disappointing that you added artificial sugar in the form of Sucralose! Most of us will adjust to less sugar if given the opportunity and it's especially easy if we don't eat sugar all the time anyway. Besides, it's a cranberry and it will be more tart than sweet, and we can add what we want to make it sweeter rather than artificial Sucralose.

These say they have 50% less sugar and no artificial flavors or preservatives. Nowhere on the front of the bag does it say it has artificial sweetener. I choose not to eat artificial sweeteners, and I feel like this packaging duped me. I will not purchase from Ocean Spray again until this issue is resolved. Store brand tastes just as good anyway.

I bought this by mistake for the original, the package being so similar, but immediately realized my error when I tasted it. Sucralose is an artificial sweetener. It is made by chlorinating sucrose - yes folks, adding chlorine. It is not "natural" despite you being allowed to use it, I assume, by the FDA. I knew one of the original Tate & Lyle researchers who told me he'd never eat it. Very misleading.

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

I was in a hurry at the store and needed dried cranberries to add to a baking project I had already started. I thought, less sugar that's good. As soon as I tasted the finished product, a bread that was a 13.5 hour project, I knew instantly that less sugar equaled alternative sugar used as a replacement in the ocean spray world. The flavor was completely ruined and i taste nothing but sucralose. Why can't companies just use less sugar? Or at least label it as using a sugar substitute?

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.

Can “less sugar” just mean the reduction of the amount of sugar and not that we have deceptively added a chemically altered compound? This preys upon patients/people that are trying hard to lose weight, manage glucose levels, and live a healthy lifestyle. Sucralose is associated with insulin resistance and other concerning health risks. Ocean spray, from a physician's plea, please do better.

The nutrition panel on the less-sugar Craisins claims that a quarter cup has a whooping 10 gm of fiber. If you look up generic dried cranberries, you find most fiber amounts are more like 2-4 gms. What gives? I also hadn't realized the "less sugar" meant added Sucralose. My bad for not studying the nutrition label. I won't be buying them again.

I'm a big fan of Craisins but not a big fan of all the extra sugar in regular Craisins, and definitely NOT a fan of artificial sweeteners in the 50 Percent Less Sugar. The aftertaste of Sucralose (and EVERY artificial sweetener) is a complete disaster. C'mon, THINK about WHO you are marketing to - many of us want LESS sweet and that's what attracted us to the 50 percent less sugar version in the first place. Just give us the Craisins with no artificial sweetener - if I want more sugar I'll add it myself. Right now I'm searching online for UNSWEETENED dried cranberries and it looks like they are available, so that's where my dollars will be going next...

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.
