Thursday, June 29, 2023 – Aspartame, which is found in most sweetened substances from Coca-Cola diet sodas to Mars' Extra chewing gum and various Snapple drinks, will be categorized as "possibly carcinogenic to humans" by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) for the first time in July. the Joint WHO and Food and Agriculture Organization's Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) declared the additive safe for consumption in 1981, albeit with safe limits.
The IARC conclusion, issued earlier this month following a meeting of the group's external experts, is supposed to determine whether something is a possible hazard based on all available data.
The IARC's decisions have also been criticized for creating unnecessary concern in the food and drugs industry over substances that can rarely be avoided. Substances are classified into four; carcinogenic, certainly carcinogenic, potentially carcinogenic, and not classifiable. The levels are determined by the strength of the evidence rather than the substance's danger.
