Non-nutritive sweeteners and FDA

ADA does not evaluate safety; however we do summarize the human subject research published in peer-reviewed journals regarding adverse effects.

  • Assessment
    What is the evidence from human subjects research that neotame consumption is associated with adverse effects in the general population?
    • Conclusion

      To date, no studies from human subject research in peer-reviewed literature were identified to evaluate adverse effects of neotame consumption in the general population.

       


       

    • Grade: V
      • Grade I means there is Good/Strong evidence supporting the statement;
      • Grade II is Fair;
      • Grade III is Limited/Weak;
      • Grade IV is Expert Opinion Only;
      • Grade V is Not Assignable.
      • High (A) means we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect;
      • Moderate (B) means we are moderately confident in the effect estimate;
      • Low (C) means our confidence in the effect estimate is limited;
      • Very Low (D) means we have very little confidence in the effect estimate.
      • Ungraded means a grade is not assignable.
