E967 - Xylitol

Xylitol (E967) is a sugar alcohol used to sweeten foods with fewer calories than table sugar and without adding a strong aftertaste. It also helps keep products moist and stable, which is why it shows up in sugar‑free gum, mints, and some baked goods. It is not safe for dogs, so keep xylitol‑containing products out of their reach.
