Low- and no-calorie sweeteners have been studied extensively for years. Thanks to a substantial body of science, including a study by the World Health Organization (WHO), we know these sweeteners are not only safe, but also a useful tool for helping people reduce sugar consumption and manage weight. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have also deemed low- and no-calorie sweeteners as safe for use in foods and beverages.

America’s beverage companies know we must play a role in improving public health and we are doing our part to help people manage their calorie and sugar intake from beverages by offering a variety of choices and portion sizes so that they can choose the beverage that best fits their lifestyle. In fact, more than 50% of beverage sales are made up of less sugar and zero sugar products. On top of offering a diverse range of products—we also have incorporated clear calorie labeling on our products, so calorie counts are right at consumer’s fingertips.
