Advantame is approved as an UNLABELLED food additive, found in soft drinks, chocolate milk, ice cream and even BAKED GOODS> Unlike aspartame, it is not broken down by heat. Unlike Aspartame, it is not required to bear a warning for those with phenylketonuria, who monitor total levels of phenylalanine carefully to prevent neurological complications. Outside of individuals with PKU, this ingredient in increased levels can complicate MS, cause dizziness, headaches and menstrual disorders in sensitive individuals. The product, which binds artificial vanillin to an aspartame-like component is fundamentally a sweetener, yet does not need to be listed as such if the manufacturers choose to label it as a flavoring agent. It is unacceptable to omit it from labels and to deny the public the ability to make an informed choice regarding its consumption!!!

What person in their right mind renames PKU and then refuses to label the consumer product correctly? Who is make a buck by trying to hide PKU under a different name? Shame on you greedy people! I supposed you will write a new law to protect yourself from lawsuits for anyone using your newly named product. Shame on you!

Anything artificial should have a warning so consumers can make informed choices.

We as citizens if this country have a right to know what is completely in our food that we buy and feed to our families. Plain and simple. Im sure the people at the top of these companies aren't feeding their families their product.

Aspartame kills. Label should be mandatory.! Greed kills!
we do NOT want this! But at least label with a warning!
It is sad how unconcerned our FDA has become. If something can make money that is all they care about; not anyone's health!
Make them use WARNING labels!
This is dangerous for those with PKU!! Please label it as such!
We need a warning on Advantame
I have a friend who has a child with PKU
This could be so harmful for those with PKU.
please change this! this diet is hard enough without having ts guess
