I picked this up from my local Asian grocery store and was surprised to see it listed here. Is the aspartame used in the pickled ingredients? I’m bummed. This is one of my favorite snacks and now I’m thinking I should avoid these?

    Non-nutritious sweeteners are a standard in +90% of the commercial Asian style pickled vegetables. In this case the radish.

    You went wrong buying something labeled “korean sushi”

    Aspartame and sucralose are usually used in the pickled radish and other pickled side dishes that shouldn’t ferment.

    People are trying to make a thing as “Aspartame in korean food” just like MSG in chinese food which we all know it started with baseless science facts and racism.

  7. In food labeling, parentheses indicate component ingredients of the ingredient preceding the parentheses. So the aspartame is a part of the pickled radish.

    Pretty standard ingredient in the pickled radish you get with fried chicken

    aspartame is fine stop fear mongering, if you are afraid just ask chatgpt to cite you some sources, it’s safe for normal consumption

    Don’t you need to eat literal buckets of aspartame for it to actually do something bad?

  11. People are making this about health, but my issue is the taste. If you put this or other similar sweeteners I will always be able to pick it out. In fact I don’t know how people can’t taste it immediately. I like making my own radish precisely so I don’t have to deal with the taste of aspartame, which is vile to me.
