Why didn't erythritol flag when artificial sweeteners are on?
Sugar alcohols are optional. Enable the toggle on the household profile, or avoid erythritol as a single ingredient.
Artificial sweeteners
Erythritol
A sugar alcohol printed as erythritol or E968. Off unless the sugar-alcohol toggle is on.
Matches personal ingredient preferences based on label evidence; not medical, allergy, or dietary safety advice
What the label is naming
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol used in sweetener blends and keto-style packaged foods. It stays out of the match unless the household turns on sugar alcohols or lists this ingredient specifically. That toggle is a preference, not a tolerance setting.
Where it hides
Flavored waters, chocolate bars aimed at low sugar, and tabletop blends beside stevia. Stevia itself is not in the V1 sweetener list.

Questions
Is this a glycemic or digestive warning?
No. The toggle only changes which printed ingredients count as preference matches.
