Grotz VL, Munro IC. Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology. 2009;55:1-5

Sucralose is a non-nutritive sweetener used in a broad range of foods and beverages and in the retail SPLENDA^® Sweetener Products, composed of sucralose and common food ingredients. A review of the extensive body of evidence that supports the safety of sucralose is provided. The results of an independent review of a recent study investigating the safety of a sucralose-mixture retail product, SPLENDA^® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated, are also discussed. The collective evidence supports the conclusion that the ingredient, sucralose, is safe for use in food and that the sucralose-mixture product, SPLENDA^® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated, is also safe for its intended use.
