PureCircle gets GRAS status for Reb M

Zoom in font  Zoom out font Published: 2014-01-02
Core Tip: PureCircle has announced that the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a No Objection letter for the use of PureCircle Rebaudioside M (Reb M) as a general purpose sweetener for foods and beverages in the United States.
Following its FDA GRAS filing in May, PureCircle has announced that the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a No Objection letter for the use of PureCircle Rebaudioside M (Reb M) as a general purpose sweetener for foods and beverages in the United States. High-purity Reb M (also known as Reb X) is said to have a closer taste to table sugar than previous stevia ingredients, allowing for deeper calorie reductions in food and beverage products, particularly those that have higher levels of sweetness.

The discovery and development of Reb M resulted from a previously announced joint development and five-year supply agreement with The Coca-Cola Company. Together the companies are seeking global intellectual property coverage for the ingredient.

The clean, sugar-like sweetness of high-purity Reb M is appealing to consumers seeking naturally sweetened food and beverage formulations with few to no calories, according to PureCircle. Its commercialisation will play an important role in extending PureCircle’s Stevia 3.0TM, which the company says optimises taste in stevia-sweetened foods and beverages.

“Ongoing investment in supply chain assets and leaf development are in place to support the commercialisation of Reb M,” said Jason Hecker, vice president global marketing and innovation, PureCircle. “We are excited by the opportunities Reb M presents for success within the framework of our Stevia 3.0TM capabilities.”
