Beginning in 2009 in the United States, the U.S. FDA considers "Rebiana (rebaudioside A) to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS)".[54] With respect to the measure of toxicity, which can be described as the median lethal dose or LD50, a report submitted to the FDA documents "the observed LD50 values were 5.2 g/kg bw for male hamsters and 6.1 g/kg bw for female hamsters."[54] The report includes a detailed list of international studies, references, and chemical analysis.[54]

Political controversy

In 1991, after receiving an anonymous industry complaint,[55][28] the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) labeled stevia as an "unsafe food additive" and restricted its import.
