On April 10th, the Ukrainian health department released a revised draft of the food additive standards for public comment, with a consultation period of 15 days. The regulation is scheduled to take effect six months after its official release. The official release date is currently unknown.
The main content of the draft involves sweeteners: the labeling of table sweeteners containing aspartame and/or aspartame-acesulfame salts must include the warning “contains phenylalanine source.”; table sweetener manufacturers should provide accessible information to consumers to ensure their safe use.
