What does Rita's use to sweeten the Sugar-Free Italian Ice flavors?

We sweeten our Sugar Free flavors with a combination of sugar alcohols and sugar substitutes. In addition to sorbitol, we also use the sweetener Aspartame, also known as NutraSweet™, in our Cherry, Mango-Peach, Pineapple, Root Beer, and Tangerine Sugar Free Italian Ice flavors, and the sugar substitute Sucralose, also known as Splenda®, in our Chocolate and Pink Lemonade Sugar Free Italian Ice flavors.

Thanks for posting this -- we are always looking for sugar-free options for my son with type-1 diabetes. Anything with aspartame is out for him (it's a neurotoxin and our pediatrician says her oncologist warns all his patients about it, too) but I see from the company info above that they do use Splenda in two of their flavors, we're cool with that!
