Even IARC agrees it is not the appropriate authority to undertake risk assessment based on actual consumption and that it 'does not make health recommendations.'

Key Points: 
  • Even IARC agrees it is not the appropriate authority to undertake risk assessment based on actual consumption and that it 'does not make health recommendations.'
  • We remain confident in the safety of aspartame given the overwhelming weight of scientific evidence and positive safety determinations by food safety authorities in more than 90 countries around the world.
  • Contrary to the leaked IARC opinion, an April 2022 systematic review published by IARC's parent body the World Health Organization (WHO) concluded there was "no significant association" between higher consumption of low- and no-calorie sweeteners (measured through beverage consumption) and cancer mortality, nor any type of cancer.
  • IARC had committed to conduct its review in "close collaboration" with the more comprehensive WHO and FAO joint review and to release results of both reviews simultaneously on July 14.
