Advantame is a non-caloric sweetener from Japan's Ajinomoto Co.[1] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved advantame for general use in foods and beverages except meat and poultry as a food additive. It is synthesized from isovanillin and aspartame.[2]

Advantame is classified as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association for use in dairy, frozen desserts, beverages, and chewing gum (FEMA #: 4716).[3] The Center for Science in the Public Interest ranks advantame as safe, together with neotame from other artificial intensity sweeteners.[4]

Animal studies have found no evidence for carcinogenicity or developmental toxicity.[5]

It is marketed as 20,000 times sweeter than sugar,[6] but it is not commonly used.[7]
