Sweet'n Low (stylized as Sweet'N Low) is a brand of artificial sweetener now made primarily from granulated saccharin (except in Canada, where it contains cyclamate instead[1]). When introduced in 1958 in the United States, Sweet'n Low was cyclamate-based, but it was replaced by a saccharin-based formulation in 1969.[2] It is also a brand name applied to a family of sweetener and sweetened products, some containing sweeteners other than saccharin or cyclamate.[3] There have been over 500 billion Sweet'N Low packets produced.[4]

Sweet'n Low is manufactured and distributed in the United States by Cumberland Packing Corporation, which also produces Sugar in the Raw and Stevia in the Raw, and in the United Kingdom by Dietary Foods Ltd. Sweet'n Low has been licensed to Bernard Food Industries for a line of low-calorie baking mixes. Its patent is U.S. patent 3,625,711.
