Abstract
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing its decision to authorize the use of a health claim regarding the association between sucralose and the nonpromotion of dental caries. Based on its review of evidence described in the proposed rule and comments submitted on the proposed rule, the agency has concluded that sucralose does not promote dental caries. Therefore, the agency has decided to amend the regulation that authorizes a health claim regarding noncariogenic carbohydrate sweeteners to include sucralose.
