In July 2002, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced its approval of a new sweetener, neotame, for use as a general-purpose sweetener in a variety of food products, other than meat and poultry.
Neotame is approximately 7,000 to 13,000 times sweeter than sugar. It is a free-flowing, water soluble, white crystalline powder that is heat stable and can be used as a tabletop sweetener as well as in cooking. Examples of uses for which neotame has been approved include baked goods, non-alcoholic beverages (including soft drinks), chewing gum, confections and frostings, frozen desserts, gelatins and puddings, jams and jellies, processed fruits and fruit juices, toppings and syrups.
