Latest news on Stevia approval
The latest news today: "Global leading food safety experts, including the European Food Safety Authority, have established that steviol glycosides are safe for all populations to consume and are a suitable sweetening option for people with diabetes.
Carl Horn, president of the International Stevia Council, said: “Today’s vote of the Standing Committee on the authorisation of the use of steviol glycosides in foods and drinks brings this calorie-free naturally sourced sweetness one step closer to all consumers in Europe, not just those in France, where steviol glycosides were approved for use in food nearly two years ago.”
The next step in the regulatory process for steviol glycosides is scrutiny of the regulation by the European Parliament.
