What it is
Sodium saccharin is an artificial sweetener that is about 300–400 times sweeter than table sugar. It is synthesized from chemicals like toluene or methyl anthranilate.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use sodium saccharin to provide sweetness without adding calories. It is often found in diet beverages, tabletop sweeteners, baked goods, jams, and chewing gum.
Health notes
Sodium saccharin is approved by the FDA as a food additive. Early studies in rats linked saccharin to bladder cancer, leading to warning labels in the US. However, subsequent research in humans and other animals did not confirm this link, and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) now classifies it as not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans. Both the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated saccharin and its salts.
Allergen info
Sodium saccharin is not derived from any of the nine major allergens and does not contain gluten.
