TypeIndividual Substance

In plain language

A synthetic sweetener, roughly 30–50 times sweeter than sugar, with zero calories. Found in diet drinks, low-sugar desserts, tabletop sweeteners, and sugar-free confectionery — often combined with saccharin to mask its slightly bitter aftertaste. Banned in the US since 1969 after early animal studies linked high doses to bladder cancer. However, EFSA and WHO have reviewed the evidence and consider it safe at approved levels (ADI: 7 mg/kg body weight). It remains widely authorised across the EU, used in 19 food categories.
