The detail
Opened https://sanha.org.za/2009/12/13/e955-sucralose/ on 2026-10-01. The page still says Status: Halaal and Source: chlorinated sucrose derivative. A search for a named JAKIM sucralose page missed. IFANCA's Winter 2007 company-news note says Splenda No Calorie Sweetener was IFANCA certified; that is a brand mention, not a ruling on the additive class, and it is not the basis of this label.
What the sources say
Grade C cards are the old notes. They are not the current label. A later grade A or B citation is dated on its own card.
A synthetic sweetener 600x sweeter than sugar (sold as Splenda). Made by chlorinating sucrose - no animal ingredients.
Name: Sucralose Status: Halaal Source: chlorinated sucrose derivative.
