Anyone know what these chemicals are in my yogurt? |

Tricalcium Phosphate and Acesulfame Potassium. It tastes like crap and I figure they're probably artificial sweeteners. Aren't they supposed to label that on the front of the carton? Or has deregulation allowed them to hide them in the ingredient list?

3. Crap. And I bought a bunch of them |
|
They sure hide the fact that there are artificial sweeteners in it. Shouldn't it say "artificially sweetened" on the label?

4. Does it say something like "zomg sugar free!" or the like on the packaging? |
|
That's usually synonymous with "aspartame" on most products I see.
