The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee for Food Additives (JECFA) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) have independently assessed the risks associated with aspartame and published a summary of their findings.
IARC has assessed the strength of evidence that aspartame could cause cancer in humans, while JECFA has assessed the risks to the public from the use of aspartame in food. The JECFA risk assessment includes a review of the acceptable daily intake (ADI) and evaluation of the dietary exposure to aspartame from food.
