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?

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.

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.

When people buy something because it says "50% less sugar" it's because we're trying to cut down on or avoid sugar altogether. We do NOT want other sweeteners being added to the product. We expect the 50% less sugar craisins to be more tart. Frankly, I wish Ocean Spray would not only offer a true "50% less sugar" product (without any other added sweeteners), but I'd love a completely unsweetened version of craisins (no sugar or sweeteners of any kind). I'll bet I'm not the only customer that feels this way.

Like other reviewers, I didn't realize these had artificial sweetener in them and they are just not tasty at all. They have a weird flavor and as sad as it makes me, I'm going to have to get rid of the bag because I just can't fathom trying to eat any more of these than the handful I had before I realized my mistake.

great balance of sweet and tart and no bad after taste! goes great on my chia seed pudding and in my harvest salads for extra fiber

Didn't realize less sugar meant fake sugar. Also must have gotten a bad batch. It's a lump. Needed cranberries for a salad recipe and I'm fighting to pull enough off the clump. I've never seen this before.

This is a question not a review. Do the 50% less sugar Cranberries really have 13 grams of fiber? Why do the others only have 3 grams of fiber ? Doesn't make sense.

I should have read the back of the package before buying. I was expecting a 50% less sweet cranberry. I didn't realize they were substituting sucralose for sugar. These taste just as sweet and I'm not fond of the flavor.
