About these substances
Plain-language summary of each regulated substance found above, drawn from public regulatory data.
Saccharin (sodium salt) is an artificial sweetener, often used in diet drinks, tabletop sweeteners, and some processed foods. It was previously classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans), but after reviewing newer scientific evidence, IARC reclassified it as Group 3 in 1999. Group 3 means the evidence is not sufficient to classify it as carcinogenic to humans. This change reflects updated research, not a safety alert. Saccharin is still approved for use in many countries, including the U.S. and Europe, within regulated limits. The reclassification shows how scientific understanding evolves over time. This summary draws on public regulatory data; the linked source is authoritative. Source: WHO IARC Monographs (https://monographs.iarc.who.int/list-of-classifications).
