|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | In 2010, two articles have been published in the scientific literature, describing potential adverse health effects of sweeteners. The paper by Soffritti et al. (2010)4 reports that aspartame is a carcinogenic agent in mice. The publication by Halldorsson et al. (2010)5 suggests an association between consumption of artificially sweetened soft drinks and increased risk of preterm delivery. The ANS Panel will produce a Panel Statement on the two above mentioned scientific articles in order to advise EFSA on the need for further work. |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources added to Food (ANS) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the results of a long-term carcinogenicity study with prenatal exposure to the artificial sweetener aspartame, performed by The Cesare Maltoni Cancer Research Center of the European Ramazzini Foundation (ERF) and published in June 2007 by Soffritti et al. |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources added to Food (ANS) of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the re-evaluation of aspartame (E 951) as a food additive. |

| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has been asked by the European Commission to assess the carcinogenicity study performed by the European Ramazzini Foundation of Oncology and Environmental Sciences (ERF) on the artificial sweetener aspartame, which was reported in publications in 2005 and 2006. |
| Carcinogenicity_EU_PPP | - | - | - | The European Food Safety Authority was asked to provide scientific advice on two studies, namely a carcinogenicity study in mice (Soffritti et al., 2010) and a prospective cohort study on the association between intakes of artificially sweetened soft drinks and preterm delivery (Halldorsson et al., 2010) and to conclude on the need to revise previous evaluations of aspartame or of the other sweeteners authorised in the European Union. |
