• Sugar growers and consumer groups claim the maker of the sugar substitute Splenda uses misleading advertising claims and marketing practices to promote their product.
• They say the slogan "Made from Sugar, So it Tastes Like Sugar," confuses consumers into believing that Splenda contains real, all-natural sugar.
• Splenda is a highly processed chemical substance called sucralose, which is manufactured in a chemical plant, the group said in a press release.
• They want the U.S. Federal Trade Commission to investigate the advertising claims.
• Splenda which is marketed by McNeil Nutritionals is a division of Johnson and Johnson.
• "Splenda is not grown in a field.
• It is made from a chemical process in an industrial plant," said Andy Briscoe, president of the U.S. Sugar Association.
• A spokesperson for McNeil Nutritionals says sugar is used to make one of the ingredients in Splenda.
• The company has filed court papers against the Sugar Association for claims it made against Splenda.
