Aspartame & Artificial Sweeteners: Why Tea Industries Chooses a Better Way

In today’s fast-paced world, more people are reaching for convenient drinks to quench their thirst but not all beverages are created equal. Many popular iced teas, energy drinks, and sodas are loaded with artificial sweeteners like aspartame,  a substance that continues to spark debate over it’s long-term impact on health.


At Tea Industries, we believe refreshment shouldn’t come at the cost of your well-being. That’s why we’ve made a conscious decision to keep our drinks free from artificial sweeteners, including aspartame - and here’s why it matters.



What is Aspartame?


Aspartame is one fo the most widely used artificial sweeteners in the world. It’s found in thousands of food and beverage products and is around 200 times sweeter than sugar. Because it adds sweetness without calories, it’s often marked as a “diet friendly” or” sugar-free” solution.


However, the real story is more complicated.



What does Food Standards  Australia say about Aspartame?


According to Food Standards Australia and New Zealand, the safety of aspartame has been comprehensively reviewed by FSANZ and other international organisations, including:


  • World Health Organization/ Food and Agricultural Organization

  • JECFA, or the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives 

  • EFSA, the European Food Safety Authority

  • FDA (United States Food and Drug Administration)

Aspartame is safe to use as a sweetener according to all available scientific data, but  further research is suggested. Aspartame was given the highest priority (priority 1) on the JECFA Priority List of substances used as food additives that were proposed for evaluation in November 2021.
