Scientific

Extensive studies have been done on the use of, reactions to and action of Tagatose. Research has shown that Tagatose is an alternative to saccharose and/ or other sweeteners.
In 1999, The FDA (Food and Drug Administration), which is the American testing service for food, declared that Tagatose was an absolutely safe ingredient. This was also confirmed in 2007 by the EFSA (European Food Safety Agency).

Tagatose is neither a sweetener, nor a polyol. In 2005 the Novel Food Unit classified Tagatose as a totally new food and added that it was completely safe. Because it is a ingredient, it does not get an E-number either.
