Title: Alternative Sweeteners

40 Auerbach et al.
Food Additives (JEFCA) in 1995 (11) and 1996 (12) and allocated an acceptable
daily intake (ADI) of 1 mg/kg of body weight (12). A WHO/FAO specification
monograph has been published (13). Alitame INS No. 956 is also listed in the
draft codex Alimentarius General Standard for Food Additives (14).
