    Food Partners News According to the official website of the British Food Safety Authority, on July 18, the British Food Safety Authority updated the application of stevia glycosin information, the agency said that the European Union is currently reviewing the use of the sweetener in food.
    , at the suggestion of the European Commission, EU member states voted in early July on proposals to approve the application of stevia saccharides to a range of foods.
    proposal has now been moved to the European Council for a three-month review with the European Parliament, and if approved, stevia saccharide is expected to be approved for use within the EU by the end of the year.
    that in 2010 the European Food Safety Authority confirmed the safety of stevia glycosin.
    , however, may be used in conditions that exceed the daily allowable intake (ADI), which is a cause for concern.
    In the above view, the UK Food Safety Authority supports the European Commission's proposal, which argues that the levels of stevia glycosin in a range of foods, particularly the sweetener in soft drinks, do not pose a risk to the health of UK consumers.
