The World Health Organisation (WHO) has formally labeled aspartame as a "possible carcinogen" in diet drinks, chewing gum, gelatin, ice cream, and dairy products. The assessment of the health impacts of aspartame was released by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the World Health Organisation (WHO), and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA). The WHO classified aspartame as possibly carcinogenic to humans based on limited evidence for cancer in humans and experimental animals. The JECFA concluded that there was no sufficient reason to change the ADI of 0-40 mg per kg body weight for aspartame, and therefore reaffirmed that it is safe for a person to consume within this limit per day. The findings highlight the need for more research to refine our understanding on whether consumption of aspartame poses a carcinogenic hazard. IARC and WHO will continue to monitor new evidence and encourage independent research groups to develop further studies on the potential association between aspartame exposure and consumer health effects.
