The low-calorie sweetener sucralose, the main ingredient in Splenda, has been approved for use across the European Union since 2004. However, travelers who rely on the familiar yellow packets will find that brand availability for Splenda in Europe is far from consistent across all countries.

First marketed in France in 1979, Canderel is a popular brand of artificial sweetener used as a low-calorie alternative to sugar. It's widely used in hot and cold beverages, baked goods, and other foods to provide a sweet taste without the calories of table sugar. The composition of Canderel varies depending on the specific product, with different versions containing different artificial sweeteners to achieve their desired properties.

According to the official Canderel website, their granules contain just 2 calories per teaspoon. This makes Canderel a popular low-calorie alternative for those looking to reduce their sugar and calorie intake while still enjoying a sweet taste.

According to Diabetes UK, most people with diabetes can safely use Canderel as part of a balanced diet, without it affecting their blood glucose levels. This is because the primary ingredients in Canderel, aspartame and acesulfame K, are non-carbohydrate sweeteners that do not raise blood sugar.
