What it is
And L is a sweetener derived from stevia leaf. It is produced through a fermentation process using specially selected yeasts. This process yields a highly purified sweetener that is chemically identical to steviol glycosides found naturally in the stevia plant.
Why it's used
And L is used as a high-intensity sweetener in a variety of food and beverage products. It provides sweetness with little to no calories. It is commonly found in yogurts, dairy alternatives, beverages, and baked goods.
Health notes
And L has been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). International bodies like JECFA have also evaluated steviol glycosides. Studies on steviol glycosides at typical consumption levels have not shown adverse health effects. Research is ongoing, but current evidence does not link it to health problems when consumed as part of a balanced diet.
Allergen info
And L is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
