In the occupied General Government, artificial sweeteners like saccharin became vital daily household substitutes. To control distribution, combat black-market trade, and generate revenue, the occupation administration subjected all saccharin production and sales to a strict state monopoly, requiring official sealed packaging with fixed pricing in Zloty. 4.
