Question 1

In what country is this product made?

Accepted Answer

USA??? How do you know? In fact -- counry of origin is far from clear.  Company's FAQ on this product says only:
Whole Earth Erythritol is manufactured for Whole Earth Sweetener Company, LLC.

Don't recall seeing any statement of origin on the product's packaging, last I checked. Nor will you see Made in USA in any of the product images here.

Suppose, then, that Whole Earth Sweetener Co is purchasing all of their erythritol from a US company. That doesn't necessarily say anything about product origin. The erythritol could be made elsewhere, shipped here in bulk, and repackaged in the US. Whole Earth Sweetener Co may or may not be aware of this. That issue imo goes squarely to business practices.

It's the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and not the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that governs Made in USA labelling. Foods and sweeteners have no source-of-origin labelling requirements:
U.S. content must be disclosed on automobiles and textile, wool, and fur products. There’s no law that requires most other products sold in the U.S. to be marked or labeled Made in USA or have any other disclosure about their amount of U.S. content. However, manufacturers and marketers who choose to make claims about the amount of U.S. content in their products must comply with the FTC’s Made in USA policy.

As Whole Earth Sweetener Co does not publicly disclose the maker of their erythritol, consumers are -- purposefully to my mind -- left in the dark on this.

One quick swipe with Occam's razor: Were this erythritol made in the USA, then why wouldn't Whole Earth Sweetener Co clearly say so -- both on their packaging and in their published FAQ?
By keeping mum publicly, Whole Earth Sweetener Co is certainly staying on the right side of applicable FTC rules.

Question 2

This product is listed as 100% erythritol, but several questions answered by other buyers  said it is a mixture of sugar/stevia. Which is it?

Accepted Answer

Whole Earth makes some different products. This one that is showing is 100% Erythritol, but they make another one called Baking Blend that is sugar/stevia.

Question 3

Does your product clump-up after opening? Is it better tasting than other products?

Accepted Answer

I have not experienced any clumping with this product and it is delicious in every thing I have baked.  Nobody can tell it’s not sugar so far.  It is products like this one that has convinced me I will never use sugar again.

Question 4

what is the bag made of, does it contribute anything bad to the product? thanks

Accepted Answer

Love the product. Packaging does not contribute smell or taste to the product.
