Stringent Rules and Regulations Pose Challenge to Sugar-Free Confectionery Manufacturers
Some sugar-free sweeteners have side effects such as heart disease and digestion problems if not taken in moderation. Therefore, international and government organizations are restricting the use of artificial sweeteners in food. Also, the rules of packaging have become more stringent, such as proper labeling of 'Sugar-Free', 'No Added Sugar', or 'Unsweetened' to communicate the content information clearly. These rules have been enforced to avoid misleading information to consumers such as 'Zero Calorie' or 'Low Calorie' food.
- The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued regulations to food manufacturers to label the nutrient content as sugar-free only if the food contains less than 0.5g of sugar.
