artificially sweetened

Fake sugar added

Artificially sweetened describes food or drink that has been made sweet using synthetic sugar substitutes rather than natural sugars.

Products labeled artificially sweetened typically contain compounds like aspartame, saccharin, or sucralose, which provide sweetness without the calories of sugar.

I switched to artificially sweetened soda when I started watching my weight.

The term often appears on packaging to distinguish these products from those sweetened with sugar or natural alternatives like stevia.
