How much sucralose can I safely consume?
The average expected intake of sucralose (over a life-time of use) is 1.3 mg per kg of bodyweight per day. The maximum expected daily intake is 2.4 mg/kg of bodyweight per day. FDA has set the acceptable average daily intake level at 5 mg/kg of bodyweight per day, and other regulatory agencies around the world have set the average acceptable daily intake level as high as 15 mg/kg of bodyweight per day. As a matter of course, regulatory agencies set average acceptable daily intake levels for new food ingredients at levels approximately 100 times below levels found safe in representative animal species, to further assure safety. In representative species, sucralose has been found safe, with effectively life-time consumption, in amounts equivalent in sweetness to over 40 pounds of sugar per day for the average adult.
