It is 9/10 of 1% Rebiana and masking agent. Rebiana is not an ingredient in the stevia plant, nor is it found in nature. It is produced by the action of chemicals and stringent alcohols on various stevia glycosides. Rebiana is simply the name Cargill gave its chemically derived product (Truvia) in 2008. The FDA "No Questions" letter stated that Rebiana contains residues of ethanol and methanol. The other 99.1% of Truvia is erythritol, a sugar extracted from corn with alcohol (a sugar alcohol). Cargill has reported that 30% of their corn is genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Truvia is essentially corn sugar. Truvia is not really a stevia-based product.
