Greetings.

In North America (the US, Canada and Mexico), it is "illegal" or Off-License to sell pure sucralose, in a user-sweetener or tabletop format, as a retail item. Only Splenda/McNeil has the right (or the right to sell the right) to market packets and granular/spoon-for-spoon format sucralose.

I strongly suspect this is also the case in Australia.

Sucralose 25% solution and pure unfillered powder are available in bulk to product developers, practitioners and/or manufacturers only, under stringent conditions.

This information is also embedded in various places in the 'sticky' Liquid Splenda thread in the Products forum.

Do be wary of offering retail sale to all comers, you may end up being "hammered" and having your access to the bulk product withdrawn by the Splenda/McNeil corporation, this has occurred to various businesses here in North American in the last couple of years, even those IMPORTING liquid retail Splenda from where it IS legal/licensed (South America) thus far.

Further, please do be aware of our Forum Rules (especially Rule 5 re Solicitation) when considering offering products and goods for sale on this website. Discussion with the Webmaster before doing so is STRONGLY recommended.

Not to be a wet-blanket, but this is information you need to familiarize yourself with, as a product developer and an individual, and as you spend more time with us here in the Active LowCarber site.

PS: do keep us posted on the product development! My experience as a "foodie" says it's VERY difficult to replace the texturizing effects of sugars...
