EU authorizes the use of glucosylated steviol glycosides as sweetener.

European Union amends Annex II of Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 by authorizing the use of glucosylated steviol glycosides as sweetener in different food categories- as E 960d - Glucosylated steviol glycosides. ||
The enzyme cyclomaltodextrin glucanotransferase (EC 2.4.1.19) derived from a non-genetically modified strain of Anoxybacillus caldiproteolyticus and intended to be used in the manufacture of modified steviol glycosides does not give rise to safety concerns under the intended conditions of use.  and thus the toxicological data previously assessed by the Authority for steviol glycosides (E 960a) were considered to support their safety as a food additive. ||
