Mondelēz said Tuesday that Oreo Zero Sugar and Oreo Double Stuf Zero Sugar will go on sale in the U.S. in January. They're a permanent addition to the company’s Oreo lineup.

It's the first time Mondelēz has sold sugar-free Oreos in the U.S. They're already sold in Europe and China, the company said.

Mondelēz said consumers are increasingly seeking what it calls “mindful indulgence,” and the new Oreos will fill an existing gap in the market for sugar-free sandwich cookies.
