Stevia Labeling and Legislation

EU Labeling and Legislation

Contact Us

Regulation (EC) N° 1333/2008 on food additives and its amendments provides a list of food categories where E 960 Steviol glycosides is permitted in the EU market. Steviol glycosides are mostly allowed to use in energy-reduced foods and beverages or foods and beverages with no added sugars at specific maximum limits.

For restrictions and exemptions laid down in the Regulation, the following definitions apply;

‘Food with no added sugars’ means a food without the following:

(i) any added monosaccharides or disaccharides;
(ii) any added food containing monosaccharides or disaccharides which is used for its sweetening properties.

‘Energy-reduced food’ shall mean a food with an energy value reduced by at least 30 % compared with the original food or a similar product.

We recommend including steviol glycosides (E960) in the ingredient declaration on the labels of finished products.
