Erythritol has GRAS(Generally Recognized as Safe) status since 1996. In 2001, FDA reviewed a GRAS Notification and did not raise any safety or legal issues.

Application:

Erythritol is easy for food and beverage manufacturers to use because it comes in an easy-to-ship powder form, has heat and pH stability and freeze-point depression, and give finished products the same volume that sugar does in baked goods.

Erythriol clearly conveys to food manufactuers and consumers that the all-natural sweetener contains zero sugar, zero calories, zero aftertaste and zero artificial ingredients.

Erythritol is a bulk sweetener that tastes and functions like sugar in beverages, dairy products and confections that appeal to consumers who want to manage their weight or sugar levels or sugar intake. Like sugar, it reduces water activity in a food product, provides volume and provides the freeze point depression needed in many frozen treats.

Erythriol can also be used in cosmetic and chemical industries.
