'''Saccharin''', also called '''saccharine''', '''benzosulfimide''', or '''E954''', or used in saccharin sodium or saccharin calcium forms, is a non-nutritive [[artificial sweetener]].{{cite web|url=https://www.drugs.com/inactive/saccharin-172.html|title = Saccharin |website=Drugs.com |date=16 August 2022|accessdate=15 June 2023}} Saccharin is a [[sultam]] that is about 500 times sweeter than [[sucrose]], but has a bitter or metallic [[aftertaste]], especially at high concentrations. It is used to sweeten products, such as [[beverage|drink]]s, [[candy|candies]], [[baked good]]s, [[tobacco]] products, [[excipient]]s, and for masking the bitter taste of some [[medicine]]s. It appears as white crystals and is odorless.
