NEOTAME

  • Neotame is an artificial sweetener approved by the FDA in 2002.
  • It is derived from aspartame but is much sweeter, approximately 7,000 to 13,000 times sweeter than sugar.
  • Unlike aspartame, neotame is heat stable, making it suitable for use in cooking and baking.
  • It does not contain phenylalanine, making it safe for individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU)
  • Neotame is used as a sugar substitute in various foods and beverages, including soft drinks, dairy products, baked goods, and chewing gum.
  • It provides sweetness without adding calories and is commonly found in “diet” or “sugar-free” products.
  • While regulatory agencies have deemed neotame safe for consumption at recommended levels, there has been some controversy regarding its safety and potential health effects.
  • As with any food additive, moderation is recommended when consuming neotame as part of a balanced diet.
