Oreo Goes Sugarless: Iconic Cookie Unveils Zero-Sugar Line For 2026
Oreo is setting its sights on a new segment of snack lovers with a major announcement: a completely sugar-free version of its world-famous cookie. Mondelēz revealed that Oreo Zero Sugar Cookies will be hitting shelves early next year, marking a significant expansion for the brand.
The revamped cookies, arriving in January 2026, will even sport a refreshed look, with the words Zero Sugar stamped directly onto each cookie. According to a statement shared with USA TODAY, Mondelēz spent roughly four years engineering the recipe so that fans would still get the familiar Oreo flavor and texture they expect.
Shoppers eager to try them won’t have to wait long. Beginning in January, both Original Zero Sugar Oreos and Double Stuf Zero Sugar Oreos will be sold nationwide, and the company emphasized that these new products are not limited-time items but permanent additions to the Oreo lineup.
Those who don’t want to wait until the retail release can already order the cookies directly from the Oreo website. A 20-count bag currently retails for $5.29.
The ingredient list for the sugar-free versions includes maltitol, polydextrose, sucralose, and Ace-K—sweeteners that allow the cookies to mimic traditional sweetness without relying on actual sugar. The recipe specifically excludes aspartame, a sweetener that has faced scrutiny over potential cancer risks.
In terms of calories, a sugar-free Oreo clocks in at about 45 calories per cookie. By comparison, the classic Oreo contains around 53 calories each, according to the brand’s nutritional information.
