Yes. Erythritol has been used as an ingredient in foods and beverages since 1990 in Japan and has been used in the US since 2000. It was approved for use in foods and beverages in Canada in November of 2004 and is approved in the EU for use in food. These approvals were based on extensive safety tests that have been reviewed by independent physicians and toxicologists who determined erythritol as safe for use in foods and beverages.
