Review the use of artificial sweeteners in food and drinks

Petition Details

Manufactures follow 'safe limits' for the use of artificial sweeteners on a SINGLE product. The sugar tax has lead to an increase in artificial sweeteners by many manufactures switching to a sugar/artificial sweetener blend. Consumption of MULTIPLE artificial blends may be unsafe over time.
