Aspartame - Which Squash and Yoghurts DO NOT contain it?

[RGPargy]

Does anyone have a list of what food stuffs DONT contain aspartame? I know alot of food does contain it and so in particular i am looking for aspartame-free squash and yogs.

TIA!

Ribena (the normal, not tooth kind stuff)

Petit Filous, I think.

"Hi-Juice"

Depends on brand of high juice though.

I think Tesco's own was free from it but they are gradually replacing teh whole range with "sugar free" varieties whcih are of course loaded with the stuff.

Should have ended that with a

Belvoir cordials (you can get them in Sainbury) have nothing but fruit juice, sugar, and citric acid - but you pay well for the privilege.

I found that normally if the item says no artificial sweetners then thats normally quite safe, best to avoid anything that is diet or low fat if you are not sure as these usually contain sweetners, I worry about sweetners, so i give my daughter muller little stars for yogurts, for myself it is normally the shape range but be carfull as there is one that does have sweetner in I think, squash is more difficult, as its either full of sugar, sweetner or both, Asda also have a "no more nasties" range which are free from artificial sweetners.

organic yoghurts and Rocks organic squash

yeo valley

"they are made with carefully selected organic ingredients... No artificial additives, colours, flavourings, GM ingredients, sweeteners, or anything else that?s not entirely natural."

Plain greek yoghurt goes down well here, with a squeeze of honey or golden syrup.
Tesco Hi Juice.

rocks squash

"Blackcurrant Cordial

Ingredients: Organic blackcurrant juice 40%, organic sugar, water, citric acid. GLUTEN FREE"

Problem is Chippy. tesco's seem to be phasing out all of their added sugar Hi juices in favour of "no added sugar variety" which are loaded with Aspartame.

Really? What a pain. It's really hard to find normal lemonade too.
Has anyone tried any other own-brand squash?
I like the french tins of sirop, but they are expensive here.

i get French tins of syrup in Tesco for about £2.50.

no artificial sweetners.

or fruit tea and dilute and add a swirl of honey.

or dilute regular fruit juice.

lemonade - the cloudy stuff from Lidl doesn't have sweetners or the Straight Cut version from Schwepps.

have yet to find tonic water without those fecking shite artificial sweetners in them.

is regular schweppes tonic not OK?

it's got aspartame in it, chippy.

and saccharine, iirc.

Think Sainsbury's own brand squash is without aspartame. At least one type is. Got cross in Boots t'other day cos DP had been sold sugar free calpol when he swears blind he asked for wiyh sugar type and when I tried to return it and exchange they said not possible with medication. Did though when I questioned this.

rocks organics are good
there is a range of fizzy drinks called whole earth that are clean too I think.

I gave up years ago and the children drink water or diluted juice.

( if avoiding aspartme you might want to consider avoiding sodium benzoate too)

we use robinsons hi juice

Blowing my own trumpet here, but please try this squash recipe

what's sodium benzoate?

E211
linked with hyperactivity. makes my DS2 seriously upset.
google it

Rachels organics yoghurts, sainsburys taste the difference squash.

Has ordinary tonic got it in? I thought it was just the diet one. Bugger.

ordinary tonic in the UK usually has artificial sweetners in it.

apparently waitrose carries one that hasn't.

E211 and aspartame cause DD1's muscle spasms to worsen big style.
