🍃🚨 ¿QUE ESTA PASANDO CON LA ESTEVIA DE MERCADONA?

🍃🚨 If you've heard things like "Mercadona's stevia isn't really stevia anymore" or "they're deceiving us," this video is for you. The controversy isn't usually because there's suddenly "something strange" about it, but rather due to a very common misconception: the stevia plant is one thing, and what's legally sold as a sweetener—steviol glycosides (E-960)—is another. Steviol glycosides are used in very small quantities and are almost always mixed with other ingredients to add volume. European Parliament +2 AESAN +2 ✅ In this video, I explain what's happening with Mercadona's (Hacendado) "stevia" with clear examples of its most common formats and how to spot the "trick" just by reading the label: 1) The key to the mess: "Stevia" in big letters, but the mixture is what matters Many products labeled as "Stevia" are not "stevia leaf," but mixtures where the sweetness comes from E-960 and the rest is "filler" (often erythritol). This is exactly what several typical formats contain: Granules: bulking agent erythritol (E-968) + steviol glycosides 2.4%. Findit Liquid: water + steviol glycosides 5.2%, citric acid, and preservative (potassium sorbate). Findit Lozenges: 35% steviol glycosides + excipients (bicarbonate, citrate, L-leucine, silicon dioxide). Findit 📌 That's why some people say "it's not stevia": in some formats, the main ingredient isn't "stevia," but erythritol, and the percentage of E-960 may be small (for example, 2.4% in the granules). Findit +1 2) Is it "fraud"? It depends on how it's marketed. If the front of the package says "Stevia" in huge letters, but the important information (erythritol + percentage of E-960) is relegated to the back in small print, it's easy for the consumer to feel they've been sold "fake stevia." FACUA has been denouncing this type of misleading marketing for years in products advertised as "stevia" but which are mostly erythritol with a small percentage of glycosides.
