Tag: Monk fruit allergy

Monk fruit extract has been designated as "Generally Recognized as Safe" (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration since 2010. This calorie-free sweetener is gaining popularity, but it's important to understand the full picture regarding its safety and any potential health considerations.

According to the FDA, pure monk fruit extract is 'Generally Recognized as Safe' (GRAS) and has no known adverse effects, yet some users report experiencing dizziness. This discrepancy is often linked to rare allergic reactions or, more frequently, to other ingredients mixed into commercial monk fruit sweetener products.
