Novel Findings on the sweetener and sweet enhancers on obesity, safety, and sustainability - 5th Innovation Advisory Panel (IAP) discussion

The objective of this IAP is to engage sweetener stakeholders (consumers, patients, health professionals, scientists, policy makers, and regulators), to understand how the outcomes of the project can address their needs, and to contribute to the Decision Support Tool development.

The IAP 5 aims to:

• Present early project outcomes to the stakeholders.
• Gathering feedback from industry partners on the project outcomes.
• Facilitate fruitful academic-industry partnerships and create new public discourse.

SWEET Project:

SWEET, a European Commission Horizon 2020 funded project, is supported by a consortium of 29 pan-European research, consumer, and industry partners, who will develop and review evidence on long term benefits and potential risks involved in switching over to sweeteners and sweetness enhancers (S&SEs) in the context of public health and safety, obesity, and sustainability.

The 5-year multidisciplinary project engages stakeholders from across the food chain — consumers, patients, health professionals, scientists, policy makers, and regulators — to address the role of sweeteners in weight control, and potentially move viable products to market. Stakeholders, including consumers, patients, health professionals, scientists, policy makers, and regulators will engage in the project.
