FDA Allows Health Claim for Isomaltulose

MINNEAPOLIS—In response to a petition from Cargill, FDA will allow the claim that the nutritive sweetener isomaltulose does not promote tooth decay. According to the agency and clinical data, isomaltulose is not fermented by oral bacteria to an extent sufficient to lower dental plaque pH to levels that would contribute to the erosion of dental enamel. Cargill’s Xtend Isomaltulose is a fully digestible, sustained energy sweetener that is ideal for use in foods where extended energy is desired.
