What it is

Steviol glycosides are sweet compounds extracted from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant, native to South America. They are purified and processed to create a high-intensity sweetener that is much sweeter than sugar.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use steviol glycosides as a zero-calorie sweetener in a wide range of food and beverage products. They are commonly found in diet sodas, yogurts, baked goods, and tabletop sweeteners, helping to reduce sugar content and calorie counts.

Health notes

Steviol glycosides are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use as a sweetener. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have also evaluated steviol glycosides, establishing safety guidelines for their consumption. Studies on steviol glycosides have not shown significant adverse health effects at typical dietary intake levels.

Allergen info

Steviol glycosides are derived from the stevia plant and are not among the FDA's nine major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
