Association Inc. jointly announced Monday that

they have reached a settlement of a lawsuit

regarding the sugar substitute Splenda marketed by McNeil.

 

Terms of the settlement are being kept confidential.

 

The association sued McNeil in 2004 claiming

McNeil falsely promoted Splenda as a natural

product “made from sugar, so it tastes like

sugar.” The association argued in its lawsuit

that Splenda is actually a chlorinated, artificial sweetener.

 

McNeil filed its own lawsuit against the Sugar

Association in 2005 accusing the association of

conducting a “smear campaign” against Splenda and

creating a Web site, truthaboutsplenda.com, that

contained allegedly false statements about the product.

 

The details of the settlement agreement have been

filed at U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.

 

The Sugar Association, a Washington, D.C., trade

group that represents the sugar industry, and

McNeil said they have agreed to make no

additional comments on the terms of the settlement.

 

McNeil Nutritionals, of Fort Washington, Pa., is
