Legislation
In the EU, polyols are permitted in most foods by the European Sweeteners and Miscellaneous Additives Directive, under quantum satis conditions of use.
In Europe, the label of foods containing more than 10 percent dry weight of polyols must include the particular “Excessive consumption may cause laxative effects”.
