Cargill’s Zerose Granted GRAS Status for Use in Beverages

The Flavor & Extract Manufacturers Association of the U.S. (FEMA) recently granted Cargill, Minneapolis, MN, GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status for Zerose erythritol for use as a flavor in non-alcoholic beverages. The FEMA GRAS status in the U.S. is also recognized in Mexico; other geographies are pending.
 
With this certification, companies can use Zerose erythritol at up to 1.25% in select beverage categories and label the ingredient as “Natural Flavor.”
 
“Consumers are increasingly concerned about the traceability, sustainability and ‘naturalness’ of food ingredients,” said Pam Stauffer, marketing programs manager at Cargill. “Zerose erythritol helps beverage manufacturers address these issues by providing a natural flavor to reduce the off-tastes of high-intensity sweeteners and improve mouthfeel without adding calories.”
