What the label is naming
Maltitol and maltitol syrup are sugar alcohols used in sugar-free chocolate and candy coatings. They are behind the optional toggle. Maltitol syrup is the longer phrase and wins the highlight over the bare name when both words are present.
Where it hides
Sugar-free chocolate, candy coatings, and some protein-style bars. If the label also lists sucralose, that sweetener flags with the main category even when the toggle is off.
