The regulatory landscape for non-nutritive sweeteners is rapidly evolving, with significant recent developments in both the EU and UK. In October 2024, the EU declared monk fruit decoctions (Siraitia grosvenorii) as ‘not novel’, mirroring a similar decision by the UK in June 2024. Consequently, monk fruit decoctions can now be used as an ingredient in food and beverage products sold in these jurisdictions. This shift opens up new opportunities to food and beverage manufacturers wanting to replace sugars/added sugars in a wide range of formulations.
