EFSA completed the safety re-evaluation of the salt of aspartame-acesulfame (E 962). Salt of aspartame-acesulfame is a sweetener authorised for use in a variety of sugar-free and energy-reduced foods and beverages. Once ingested, it dissociates into its individual components aspartame and acesulfame. In its re-evaluation, the EFSA Panel found no safety concerns associated with the currently reported uses and use levels of acesulfame K (E 950), aspartame (E 951) and the salt of aspartame-acesulfame E 962.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The EFSA conclusion is based on the previously established acceptable daily intake<\/a> (ADI) for aspartame of 40 mg\/kg body weight per day, now reconfirmed, and on the recently revised ADI for acesulfame K of 15 mg\/kg body weight per day. Current exposure estimates across all age groups remain below these ADIs.<\/p>\n

The EFSA Panel concluded that there is no safety concern at the reported uses and use levels for E 950, E 951 and E 962. They also recommended updating the EU specifications for E 962 to ensure that it is produced from E 950 and E 951 that comply with their respective specifications and reviewing the limits for arsenic and lead in the specifications for E 951.<\/p>\n
