The Calorie Control Council Comments on the World Health Organization’s Review of the Safety...
WASHINGTON, July 13, 2023 (Newswire.com) - The Calorie Control Council, an international association representing the low-calorie food and beverage industry, supports the World Health Organization's (WHO) findings regarding the safety of aspartame, that aligns with more than 90 credible global scientific and regulatory food agencies that have extensively reviewed aspartame and determined it is safe.
JECFA is charged by the WHO to evaluate ingredients like aspartame and determine their safety. After conducting a thorough re-assessment, JECFA concluded there are no concerns regarding adverse effects of consuming aspartame at current levels and reaffirmed the acceptable daily intake level (ADI), underscoring its previous conclusion that aspartame is safe.
"The JECFA ruling not only confirms the four decades of science concluding aspartame is safe but also provides real-life context around the safe consumption of this ingredient," said Robert Rankin, President, Calorie Control Council. "In order to reach JECFA's conservative ADI estimates, the average 150 lb. person would need to consume about 14 12-oz cans of diet beverages or about 74 packets of aspartame-containing tabletop sweetener every day over the course of their life to raise any safety concern. Obviously, that level of consumption is not realistic, recommended, nor is it aligned with the intended use of these ingredients."
"Consumers have a strong desire for reliable and science-based information and JECFA's review reaffirms the overwhelming body of evidence that confirms aspartame is safe. To assert otherwise is misleading, inaccurate, and fearmongering to the nearly 540 million people globally living with diabetes and millions of others managing their body weight who rely on and/or chose products that contain low- and no-calorie sweeteners such as aspartame," continued Rankin.
Consumers who look to low- and no-calorie sweeteners - including aspartame - for managing sugar and calorie reduction can continue to feel comfortable knowing it has been proven a safe and effective choice based on the findings of global health organizations which review the relevant scientific evidence regularly.

EcoClear Partners With the City of St. Petersburg to Minimize Pests
SARASOTA, Fla., June 22, 2023 (Newswire.com) - EcoClear Products, Inc., a leading manufacturer of safe, eco-friendly pesticides, announces an agreement with the City of St. Petersburg, Florida's Sanitation Department. The city will use EcoClear's RatX® as a city-wide rodent control solution, in order to safely resolve the common problem of rodent overpopulation without affecting people, their pets, and the local wildlife.
"The residents of St. Petersburg are living in a city that cares about its people, pets, and wildlife," Christopher Stidd, President of Ecoclear Products, said. "The city's choice to use EcoClear's effective and poison-free method of extermination sets the city and its citizens ahead of the curve."
RatX ® is an all-natural product with two active ingredients, corn gluten meal and sodium chloride, safe to use around people and pets, with no risk of secondary kill to non-target species like birds of prey or wildlife. It reduces the smell of dead rodent carcasses by up to 90% while also providing a more cost-effective solution than poisons and private extermination contractors.
"Using RatX® will save the taxpayers money, as the city no longer has to use outside services to control rodents," Stidd said. "The city is choosing a sustainable way to get rid of unwanted pests like rats and mice, while at the same time protecting the health and safety of people and non-target animals."
RatX® Pellets are effective for indoor and outdoor rat and mouse control when used as directed and are safe to use around landscaping, near livestock housing, or under buildings or garden structures.
EcoClear's rodenticides are made with ingredients that meet the Food & Drug Administration's GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) standard. They target only the specific, intended species, so non-target animals such as pets, wildlife, and birds are safe from harm.
