[Scientific consensus on food sweeteners (2022)].

Sweeteners are a kind of food additives, which can give food a sweet taste with little or no energy and provide a variety of options for people who have sugar control needs. Due to their stable process performance and good safety, they have been widely used in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries worldwide in the past 100 years. The safety of sweeteners is based on strict food safety risk assessment, which has been affirmed by many international organizations, national/regional food safety risk assessment agencies and food safety management authorities. The proper use of sweeteners can provide sweetness, be beneficial to control energy intake, reduce the risk of dental caries, and provide more food choices for people with hyperglycemia or diabetes.甜味剂是一类食品添加剂，能够赋予食品甜味，只提供较少能量或不提供能量，为有控糖需求的人群提供了多样化选择。因其工艺性能稳定、安全性好，过去100多年间在全球被广泛应用于食品、药品、日化等行业。甜味剂的安全性基于严格的食品安全风险评估，已得到多个国际组织和国家/地区权威食品安全风险评估机构和食品安全管理部门的肯定。合理使用甜味剂能够提供甜味，有利于控制能量摄入；有助于降低龋齿发生风险；为高血糖人群及糖尿病患者提供更丰富食物选择。.
