What is it and why the issue?
Facts. The trade mark owners are Vydex Corporation.
The owner has stated clearly (inc a reproduced copy of his letter on this site) that it does not contain aspartame.
Issues: several companies use it either as an ingredient which they then blend themselves or get others to do for them or it has been included as the same in products made under contract by Vydex.
Contract manufacturing, as is, is very common in the UK. Well known high street supermarkets do not, for example, own sausage making plants but instead get companies which already make the same products to make some for them under their own label. Hell, I used to work for a company which made sausages for Tescos and Sainsbury's many years back (Hygrade Foods, now defunct).
One issue as is is that some resellers and or contract holders seem to be making either impossible claims for their product (that it contains ingredients which are more expensive than the selling price - so impossible) - see Sci-Mentor Excel product or stuff as daft as selling what is reported as an 80% protein product for around the production costs or less. In other words one asks how is this possible? In all cases where attention has been drawn the sweetener is.... you guessed it.
