Can neotame be used by pregnant and breastfeeding women?
Yes. ANZFA approved neotame for use by the general population. So, neotame can be safely incorporated into the overall diet of pregnant and breastfeeding women. However, most women need to increase their caloric intake during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, so it is important that they consume foods that supply adequate calories and nutrients required to nourish the fetus or infant during this important time. Of course, it is important for all pregnant women to consult with their physicians regarding nutritional needs during pregnancy.
