Bi

Bi is a brand name for a sweetener made from stevia leaf extract. It is produced by purifying the sweet-tasting compounds found in the stevia plant's leaves. These compounds are then processed to create a concentrated, calorie-free sweetener.

Bi is used as a zero-calorie sweetener in a variety of food and beverage products. Manufacturers add it to reduce sugar and calorie content while maintaining sweetness. It is commonly found in diet drinks, yogurts, baked goods, and tabletop sweeteners.

Bi, as a stevia leaf extract, is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a sweetener. Regulatory bodies like the WHO/FAO Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated steviol glycosides, the components of stevia extracts. These evaluations have generally affirmed their safety at typical consumption levels. Some individuals may experience mild digestive upset at very high intakes, but this is uncommon.
