Hi, More than 90 studies have demonstrated the safety of acesulfame K. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration permitted the use of acesulfame K after evaluating numerous studies and determining it is safe for its intended use. The FDA approved acesulfame K for use in liquid non-alcoholic beverages (soft drinks) on July 6, 1998. FDA has reaffirmed acesulfame K's safety on nine separate occasions by broadening its approval. A general use approval was granted by the FDA in December 2003. The FDA has set an acceptable daily intake (ADI) for acesulfame K of 15 milligrams per kilogram of body weight. ADI, expressed in terms of body weight, is the amount of a food additive that can be taken daily in the diet over a lifetime without risk. FDA's ADI for acesulfame K is equivalent to a 132-pound person eating 143 pounds of sugar annually (i.e., more than the average person consumes of all sugar and corn sweeteners combined). The Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), the scientific advisory body to the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, reviewed the available research on acesulfame K and concluded that it is safe. JECFA has also established an ADI of 15 mg/kg of body weight. The Scientific Committee for Food of the European Union published a comprehensive assessment of sweetening agents in 1985. This committee of toxicological experts from the EU member countries accepted acesulfame K for use in foods and beverages. Acesulfame K has been used in Europe since 1983 and in the U.S. since 1988, with no known documented adverse health effects. The National Toxicology Program was established in 1978 by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). NTPs mission is to evaluate agents of public health concern by developing and applying the tools of modern toxicology and molecular biology. The study is GMM-01 Toxicity Studies Of Acesulfame Potassium (CAS NO. 55589-62-3) in FVB/N-TgN(v-Ha-ras)Led (Tg.AC) Hemizygous Mice and Carcinogenicity Studies of Acesulfame Potassium in B6.129-Trp53tm1Brd (N5) Haploinsufficient Mice (Feed Studies). The conclusion on page 2 of the abstract states Under the conditions of this 9-month feed study, there was no evidence of carcinogenic activity acesulfame potassium in male or female p53 haploinsufficient mice exposed to 0.3%, 1%, or 3%. The International Food Information Council (IFIC) recently published a brochure entitled Everything You Need to Know About Acesulfame Potassium). The IFICs mission is to communicate science-based information on food safety and nutrition to health and nutrition professionals, educators, journalists, government officials and others providing information to consumers. The IFIC is unique in that the organization does not represent any product or company or lobby for legislative or regulatory activities. The brochure reiterates the position of the FDA, WHO, and countless other scientific communities in-that Acesulfame Potassium is safe and suitable for all segments of the population. Acesulfame Potassium is currently used in more than 4000 products around the world. This includes candies, tabletop sweeteners, chewing gums (for example Trident by Adams), beverages (including Pepsi-One by Pepsico), dessert and dairy product mixes, baked goods, alcoholic beverages, syrups, refrigerated and frozen desserts, and flavored protein powders and meal replacement powders.
