It looks like they may have been added since you read it, as they're in the article now.
What I find problematic is that they list a concentration, but no real world examples. We sell a concentrated product that contains 1.3mg sucralose per ml which would seem damning, if not for the fact it gets diluted 8-16x when mixed.
Current daily allowance is about 5mg/kg which for a 50kg/120lb person (very tiny) is 250mg. At 8x dilution this is 2 liters of sugar-free sweetened drinks.
Which actually doesn't sound that difficult to hit.
