The Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) has published Application A1325 - Extension of use of steviol glycosides in hotplate flour products (crumpets, pikelets and pancakes).
This application seeks to amend the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (the Code) to extend the permitted use of steviol glycosides (hereafter SG) to flour products that are cooked on hot plates - crumpets, pikelets, and pancakes (category 6.4 in Schedule 15) at a level of up to 350 mg/kg steviol equivalents.
Stevia is a plant-based sweetener extracted from the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana. Stevia is already permitted for use in a range of food product categories under Standard 1.3.1 and Schedule 15 of the Code and is used widely by the food industry as a high-quality, low-calorie sweetener to replace the use of sugar partially or completely in product formulations.
