Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) has updated its fact sheet on aspartame to reflect a recent review by the European Food Safety Authority Advisory Forum. The new fact sheet states, "During 2008 and 2009, an Advisory Forum of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) reviewed the available information and data on the safety of aspartame. The National Experts did not identify any new evidence that suggested that EFSA should reconsider its previous Opinions that aspartame is a safe food additive."

April 2, 2010: A team of national experts drawn from EU member states has concluded that there is no new evidence on aspartame that would require EFSA to reassess its opinion that the sweetener is safe.
