Sweeteners, also known as sugar substitutes, are food additives that provide sweetness to foods. They have been widely used worldwide for over a century, to partially or entirely replace sugar.

In response to this, China Food Information Center (CFIC) conducted a survey and provided insight into consumers' attitudes towards sweeteners based on the survey result.
