Mondelez has announced it will introduce sugar-free Oreo biscuits in the United States early next year, marking the first time the product has been sold
in the country. The company said on Tuesday that Oreo Zero Sugar and Oreo Double Stuf Zero Sugar will go on sale nationwide in January 2026 and will become a permanent part of its range. Sugar-free versions are already available in Europe and China. Mondelez said the new varieties respond to growing consumer demand for what it describes as "mindful indulgence", adding that sugar-free sandwich biscuits address a gap in the current US market. Analysts have pointed to a broader shift toward snacks perceived as healthier. Circana, a market research firm, reported earlier this year that most Americans are seeking snacks they consider "good for them". Conagra Brands, the maker of Slim Jim and several popcorn labels, has also noted that Millennial and Generation Z consumers are increasingly choosing portion-controlled and wellness-oriented products. The sugar-free Oreo biscuits are sweetened with maltitol, polydextrose, sucralose and acesulfame potassium, according to the company's website. They do not contain aspartame. A single sugar-free Oreo contains around 45 calories, compared with roughly 53 calories for a standard Oreo. Both the original and Double Stuf sugar-free varieties will be available at US retailers from January. Customers can purchase the cookies early on the Oreo website and a bag of 20 cookies costs $5.29.
