                                The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has affirmed the 'Generally Recognized as Safe' (GRAS) status for brazzein, a naturally derived sweet protein, based on available scientific evidence. This regulatory milestone, combined with promising animal studies, raises the consumer question: does brazzein have any side effects that users should be aware of? Current data suggests that for most people, the risks are minimal.
