Deceiving!!!! Awful Product!!!!

I was excited to buy craisins that have less sugar and even 50% less sugar. After I tasted the product, I sensed a funny note and read the ingredients to find it's sucralose. That's really so misleading to a consumer. I don't want fake sugar in my body! That's really not ok. If you are using less sugar then it behooves you to make the consumer aware that you are substituting sugar with something else. Aside from me noticing the off-taste, I don't want to ingest fake sugar ever. Why can't you just make Craisins with 50% less sugar? I would enjoy that and I would prefer the tartness than all the sugar and I certainly don't want you deceiving me by substituting fake sugar. I'm very disappointed.

Truly awful taste & misleading packaging!

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!

Contains sucralose

The front of the bag says "no artificial flavors", the back of the bag lists "sucralose" as an ingredient. I am furious. I would not have purchased this product if I knew that it had sucralose in it. Unfortunately I trusted the text on the front of the bag. I was hoping they wouldn't be so sweet, but in fact the taste is even sweeter than regular Craisins, and not as delicious.

50% less sugar should NOT mean artificially sweet

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.

Artificial ingredients like sucralose ruin these

Swing and a miss! Is your marketing team even reading these comments? The overwhelming majority of consumers looking for 50% less sugar also want natural ingredients and no artificial sweeteners. And don't even think about Stevia, cuz that's just as bad. We realize your team of chemical engineers, marketers, and taste testers think it's necessary to account for the bitter taste and substitute a myriad of other ingredients when you remove something like sugar, fat, or salt, but some people actually like the bitter flavor, it works in their dishes, and some people are doing less sugar for health reasons, not just the marketing appeal. As we become more and more health-conscious, long lists of added artificial chemicals will continue to drive off customers, who seek healthy alternatives. Artificial chemicals like sucralose, in-fact ANY added ingredients beyond the cranberries themselves is counter productive to auto-immune diseases and many of the health conditions people seek more natural foods for. I ask you please consider a natural variant of this product with JUST Cranberries (like the unsweeted "Pure" Cranberry juice you make), no sugar, no artificial sweeteners, no substitues, no chemicals, no cause for concern, JUST Cranberries. Until then, I like many of the customers above, will take my business elsewhere to the responsible companies, who are listening to health-conscious consumers like me.

Verified Purchase

Love the Low Sugar Cranberries

Loved the reduced sugar cranberries - very delicious and taste as good as those with sugar but healthier. Every little bit helps.

Misleading

If something is touted as less sugar it should be just less sweet. I'm annoyed I didn't think to check that these were made with sucralose. Gross. Misleading package. Should have “made with sucralose” on the front.
