 What do you use instead of sugar in your products?

At Pändy, we believe that snacks can and should be part of a healthy lifestyle. We produce "better-for-you" products without compromising on taste. Our candy contains fiber, erythritol, sucralose and acesulfame-K to taste sweet without adding sugar.

How much research is there about these sweeteners and what does the research say?

Sucralose and acesulfame-K are completely energy-free sweeteners used in many different products. Both of these sweeteners are well studied and deemed safe by EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) if they are added in the right amounts. We of course stay within the approved levels and are constantly updated on new research on these sweeteners.

Erythritol is a sugar alcohol that is energy-free. Sugar alcohols can be found in nature but in very small amounts, for that reason, sugar alcohols are produced from natural sugars. Erythritol, just like sucralose and acesulfame-K, is a well-studied and approved sweetener where we stay within the approved limit values.

Can maltitol cause an upset stomach?

Maltitol is a very common sweetener used by many brands to adjust the texture and taste of products without using sugar. How well you tolerate sweeteners is of course individual, but many people may experience problems with an upset stomach when consuming products with maltitol. For this reason, we have chosen to avoid maltitol completely in our Pändy candy. In our Pändy protein bars, only the chocolate coating contains a small amount of maltitol, so the risk of the stomach being affected is low.

Why is there 1 g of sugar in the candy?

Our candy has no added sugar; the small amount of sugar listed in the nutritional information occurs naturally in corn starch.

Why do you use aspartame in your Power energy drink and Protein powder?

Aspartame has a characteristic taste and is therefore often well suited to use for specific tastes, e.g. energy drinks if you want to achieve a classic "energy drink" taste. Aspartame is the most researched sweetener on the market and is assessed by EFSA(European Food Safety Authority) as a safe sweetener within recommended amounts. The acceptable daily intake according to the Swedish Food Agency is 40 mg/kg body weight per day. This means that a person weighing 60 kg can drink around 4 litres of soda per day. The only group that is advised against consuming products with aspartame is people with the disease PKU.

Will your candy make my stomach upset?

Our candy is generally gentle to the stomach as it doesn’t contain the laxative sweetener Maltitol, however, some people may react to sweeteners even if they aren’t laxatives in small amounts.  

Our candy contains a higher amount of fibres, which can affect the stomach. You can compare it with other products with a high fibre content, it can make the stomach work a little. How people react is always different from person to person.

Vilka sötningsmedel använder ni?

Vi använder oss av erytritol, acesulfam-K och sukralos som sötningsmedel i vårt godis. Alla våra sötningsmedel har undersökts noga och har ingen dokumenterad negativ effekt på hälsan. Läs mer på Livsmedelsverkets hemsida: Sötningsmedel (livsmedelsverket.se)

Vi ser att våra sötningsmedel är ett bättre alternativ än raffinerat (vitt) socker. Raffinerat socker kan bidra till ökad risk för hälsosjukdomar som övervikt, hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar, karies samt typ 2 diabetes. Våra sötningsmedel har ingen dokumenterad negativ påverkan på hälsan. 

Varför är det 1 g socker i godiset?

Vårt godis är utan tillsatt socker, den lilla mängden socker i näringsdeklarationen förekommer naturligt i majsstärkelse. 

Får man ont i magen av ert godis?

Vårt godis är generellt skonsamt mot magen då det inte innehåller det laxerande sötningsmedlet Maltitol, däremot kan vissa personer reagera på sötningsmedel även om det inte är laxerande i små mängder. Vårt godis innehåller en högre andel fibrer vilket kan påverka magen. Man kan jämföra det med andra produkter med högt fiberinnehåll, det kan få magen att jobba lite. Hur man reagerar är alltid olika från person till person.
