Confirmed with the company by email: all Birch used to make it is produced in the USA; all processing, testing and packaging done in the USA.

Question 3

How many calories are in one teaspoon

Accepted Answer

Their website (link below) says 1/2 the calories of regular sugar or 9.6 calories per teaspoon.http://theultimatelife.net/CatSweet.htmThis is a partial cut & paste from the website above:	First, it has only HALF the calories of sugar! Second, it is the ONLY natural sweetener that does NOT promote tooth decay and gum disease which is why it is used in premium toothpaste and mouthwash. Third, in spite of the fact that it is a pure carbohydrate, it is metabolized very slowly. This helps prevent sugar "highs" and "lows" experienced by people who have diabetes, hypoglycemia, chronic fatigue syndrome, candida (yeast infection) or any condition caused by sugar imbalance.	DIRECTIONS: USE SAME AMOUNT AS YOU WOULD WHITE SUGAR.One Teaspoon = 4 grams = 9.6 caloriesOne Cup = 200 grams = 480 calories	THE ULTIMATE SWEETENER® is totally free of sugar, honey, corn syrup, fructose, bone ash, anything artificial, or animal products of any kind.
