endgültige EFSA-Zulasung für 2020 erwartet. Damit wären sie die ersten, die erste Hürde wurde bereits genommen:
"Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif., Oct. 29, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stevia-based sweetener company SweeGen announced today the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) food additive and flavoring panel found no safety concerns for its bioconverted Rebaudioside M (Reb M) stevia leaf sweetener.
This is great news for European food and beverage manufacturers, as consumers are looking to reduce their sugar intake and demanding clean label and great taste. Product developers can now start formulating sugar-reduced, low-calorie, and non-GMO products in anticipation of final approval in 2020. The global sweetener market is valued at approximately $100 billion. Non-GMO stevia sweeteners have led the way in replacing sugar in foods and beverages, nutritional products, pharmaceuticals and many other market products world-wide. SweeGen is the first company to receive the EFSA panel’s safety status for any steviol glycoside produced by alternative technologies. To achieve high purity clean-tasting and non-GMO stevia leaf sweeteners, SweeGen uses an enzymatic bioconversion process starting with stevia leaf extract. This process enabled SweeGen to obtain the Non-GMO Project verification for its Bestevia® stevia sweeteners. Bestevia® Reb M was commercialized in 2017 and has already been approved in many regions around the world. Final EFSA approval is expected in 2020."
