![]() NutraSweet to stop making aspartame Published Wednesday, Sept. 24, 2014 | 1:37 p.m. Updated 32 minutes ago NEW YORK (AP) — NutraSweet says it will no longer make the artificial sweetener aspartame and instead concentrate on more profitable sweeteners. The company expects to shut down a major portion of a plant that employs about 210 workers by year-end as a result. NutraSweet CEO William DeFer said in a statement foreign competition was the primary reason for the decision. "Low cost imports now dominate the aspartame market, making it impossible for us to sustain a profitable business while maintaining our unmatched standard of quality," DeFer said. NutraSweet noted the plant in Augusta, Georgia had supplied customers around the world for more than 30 years. In addition to aspartame, it makes neotame and Twinsweet. |

By that, do they mean concentrating on artificial sweeteners that show no sign of having a landslide of impending lawsuits in the future? |

They say that it will degrade over time, but this seemed potent up until I finished the box. The powder did turn a light tan color, but it didn't seem to affect the taste. |

Same with me, I had a small box in the back of a garage cupboard that I didn't notice for years, it was fine when I used it. I didn't notice a change of color with it though. Cheri |

I use 1 packet in a 2-cup mug of coffee, and when I bought aspartame at Walmart, I had to use 4 of them. Becca |

I don't use it that often, but I do like a packet on some strawberries and things like that. I don't use it in coffee, just cream. :-) Cheri |
