The "Big Pack" weighs 29 g and contains 60 Tic Tacs. The "Bottle Pack" weighs 98g and contains 200 Tic Tacs. In the UK packs are 16.4 grams (0.58 oz) and contain 22 Tic Tacs. In the United States, the sugar content of Tic Tacs is listed as 0 g despite the mints being approximately 90% sugar (depending on the flavor). [26]
Lactitol, erythritol, sorbitol, xylitol, mannitol, and maltitol are all classified sugar alcohols (lactitol and maltitol are in fact disaccharide alcohols, since they contain one intact sugar). [1] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classifies sugar alcohols as " generally recognized as safe " (GRAS).
They are converted to glucose slowly, and do not spike increases in blood glucose. [37] [38] [39] Sorbitol, xylitol, mannitol, erythritol and lactitol are examples of sugar alcohols. [38] These are, in general, less sweet than sucrose, but have similar bulk properties and can be used in a wide range of food products. [38]

Sorbitol (/ ˈ s ɔː (r) b ɪ t ɒ l /), less commonly known as glucitol (/ ˈ ɡ l uː s ɪ t ɒ l /), is a sugar alcohol with a sweet taste which the human body metabolizes slowly. It can be obtained by reduction of glucose, which changes the converted aldehyde group (−CHO) to a primary alcohol group (−CH 2 OH).
In a statement, the Calorie Control Council, an industry trade group representing more than two dozen sweetener manufacturers, said studies linking alternative sweeteners to health risks are based ...
Sugar alcohols can be, and often are, produced from renewable resources.Particular feedstocks are starch, cellulose and hemicellulose; the main conversion technologies use H 2 as the reagent: hydrogenolysis, i.e. the cleavage of C−O single bonds, converting polymers to smaller molecules, and hydrogenation of C=O double bonds, converting sugars to sugar alcohols.
Xylitol has about the same sweetness as sucrose, [15] but is sweeter than similar compounds like sorbitol and mannitol. [10] Xylitol is stable enough to be used in baking, [18] but because xylitol and other polyols are more heat-stable, they do not caramelise as sugars do. When used in foods, they lower the freezing point of the mixture. [19]
