E969SweetenerLow concern
Advantame
In plain words
The short version
The newest aspartame derivative — about 20000× sweeter than sucrose, the highest-potency food sweetener.
Why it's green
It's widely considered safe at the amounts used in food, so we mark it green. The Safety section below has the details.
Safety profile
ADI of 0–5 mg/kg body weight. Like neotame, the bulky N-substituent blocks enzymatic release of phenylalanine — no PKU warning required. Largely excreted unchanged.
