FDA Supports SweetLeaf’s Glycoside Safety Claim

September 1, 2009: 05:47 AM EST
The U.S. Food & Drug Administration has signed off on the safety claims of the stevia-based artificial sweetener SweetLeaf. The agency granted the whole leaf steviol glycosides used in the product extract the Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) status. SweetLeaf, made from the stevia plant harvested in Central and South America and 300-350% sweeter than sugar, is marketed as a safe and pure alternative for weight-conscious consumers, and for food and beverage companies. The company says its brand not only substitutes well for sugar in recipes, it lacks the bitter aftertaste of competitor stevia sweeteners.
