Oreo ripped after announcing sugar-free cookie: Why not just put asbestos in them?

A brand-new sugar-free Oreo variety is set to hit grocery shelves across the country in January 2026 — and social media users are skeptical.The Oreo website was updated Tuesday to introduce the brand’s new zero-sugar chocolate sandwich cookies, marketed to calorie-conscious consumers.Instead of sugar, the cookies feature sucralose and acesulfame potassium, which are artificial sweeteners.It also contains sorbitol, a nutritive sweetener that occurs naturally in fruits.“With Oreo Zero Sugar, you can indulge in the signature Oreo taste now without the sugar,” the product’s description reads. “Oreo Zero Sugar offers the classic taste of Oreo, while allowing you to keep your health and wellness goals,” it also says.The packs will also contain two cookies each, which Oreo said allows them to achieve both “portion control and [be] sweet tooth companion[s].”“Ingredients sound like a ‘Breaking Bad’ recipe,” one X user wrote.“Why not just put asbestos in them at this point?” another said.“These are all things that will give you liver and kidney damage.Real sugar is far healthier than these substitutions.”But not all comments were skeptical.On the product page, some Oreo fans expressed their excitement about the new snack launch, writing that people with diabetes could finally enjoy the cookies again.“Thank you, Oreo! We have been waiting for years for this to happen,” one comment read.

“My diabetic husband will be over the moon to enjoy his favorite snack again!”“About time! As a diabetic who misses a good dirt ‘n worms, this is gonna make me happy,” another person said.Fox News Digital reached out to Oreo maker Mondelez International for comment.Morning Report delivers the latest news, videos, photos and more.
