Fermented Sugar Cane Reb M

Fermented Sugar Cane Reb M is a high-purity stevia sweetener produced through a fermentation process using yeast. It is a naturally occurring compound found in the stevia leaf, but fermentation allows for consistent production of this specific molecule.

Reb M is used as a zero-calorie sweetener in a variety of food and beverage products, including ice cream, yogurt, and baked goods. It is added to reduce sugar content while maintaining a sweet taste, often blended with other sweeteners.

Reb M is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a sweetener. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated steviol glycosides, including Reb M, and have not set a numerical limit (ADI not specified). Studies on stevia sweeteners generally show no adverse effects at typical consumption levels.
