Um, Positive It's definitely the powder to which you must add your own sweetener.

Perhaps the package you have lists "dextrose" instead of "sugar"? Or perhaps the formula sold in Canada is different?

Let's see ... Rasberry Lemonade .. ingredients: citric acid, natural and artificial flavour, tricalcium phosphate, sugar, sodium citrate, corn dextrin (also a carb), colour, gum arabic.

Cherry .. ingredients: citric acid, sugar, artificial flavour, tricalcium phosphate, colour, salt

why is there salt in Koolaid?
