HC Deb 29 July 1983 vol 46 c680W
Mr. Lester

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food why it is proposed in the draft sweeteners in food regulations to permit the introduction of a new synthetic sweetener, acesulfame K in the United Kingdom; and what study was made of evidence from Germany.

Mrs. Fenner

After considering all the available evidence relating to acesulfame K, the Government have been advised by their independent expert committees that its use should be permitted.
