Almost 200 controlled tests have established that it is entirely risk free. In the European Union, sweeteners are controlled under the directive regulating sweeteners for use in food (94/35EC). This directive was promulgated after a detailed evaluation for the European Union of the scientific proof concerned with establishing the innocuousness of sweeteners by the SCF (Scientific Committee for Foodstuffs), extensive consultations between national governments, and two readings in the European Parliament.

In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is the government agency responsible for framing laws governing the food industry. Their normal procedure holds the manufacturer responsible for evaluating the safety of a product, or for having tests carried out by independent scientific researchers. The manufacturer must then submit all the necessary information available to the FDA in order to support the filing of an application for a food additive and to prove the product to be innocuous. The scientists at the FDA examine and evaluate the information they receive and offer their advice to the commissioner on its acceptability.
