How much is permitted

A listing usually limits the quantity as well as the food. Only one of the forms that takes is a figure: quantum satis and good manufacturing practice permit the amount the technological effect requires and no more, which is a limit rather than the absence of one. Figures below are the range across every food category this page is listed in, and categories differ between regulators — see how much is permitted.

European Union	20 mg/kg – 3,300 mg/kg	31 numeric limit, 3 quantum satis
Codex Alimentarius	30 mg/kg – 3,500 mg/kg	72 numeric limit, 1 GMP

What a label must say

Words a food containing Glucosylated steviol glycosides is obliged to carry, quoted from the instrument that imposes them. A required statement is a fact about the regulation, not a finding about the substance — every rule below applies where the additive is authorised.

‘with sweetener(s)’, or ‘with sugar(s) and sweetener(s)’ where the food also contains added sugar. The statement accompanies the name of the food.
Any food containing an authorised sweetener. Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011, Annex III, points 2.1 and 2.2 · Assimilated Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011, Annex III

Every rule collected at what a label must say.

GRAS notices to the FDA

A GRAS notice is a company’s conclusion that a substance is generally recognised as safe for the use it describes. FDA’s letter responds to that conclusion, for that notifier and that use. It is not a listing in 21 CFR, and it is not counted as a US permission above. The substance and use are as FDA’s inventory words them; this site matched the notice to this page by exact name.

How the EU defines it

The legal specification an additive must meet to be sold as this E number in the EU — what it is, how it may be made, and the purity it must reach. From Commission Regulation (EU) No 231/2012.

E 960d Glucosylated steviol glycosides

Mixture of larger glycosides of steviol derived by glucosylation of steviol glycosides extracted from leaves of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni plant. The mixture is composed of glucosylated steviol glycosides and residual parent steviol glycosides from Stevia leaf. Glucosylated steviol glycosides are produced by treating the steviol glycosides, extracted from Stevia leaf, and starch suitable for human consumption with Cyclomaltodextrin glucanotransferase (EC 2.4.1.19) derived from a non-GMO strain of Anoxybacillus caldiproteolyticus St-88. The enzyme transfers glucose units from the starch to the steviol glycosides. The resulting material is heated and treated with activated carbon to remove the enzyme, then passed through adsorption/desorption resin to remove residual hydrolysed starch (dextrin), followed by purification and preparation of the final product using processes that may include decolourisation, concentration and spray drying.

Common questions

Assembled from what is above, in the words the questions are usually asked in. Each answer is the same statement the relevant section makes, with the same citations behind it.

What is E 960d?: E 960d is Glucosylated steviol glycosides. Glucosylated steviol glycosides are stevia sweeteners with extra glucose units attached, which softens the liquorice note that plain stevia extract can carry.
What is Glucosylated steviol glycosides used for in food?: It is listed as a sweetener — the role Codex and the EU assign it. This page shows every function each regulator records, with the citation for each.
Where is Glucosylated steviol glycosides permitted?: Of the seven regulators this site reads, the EU and the Codex standard permit it. Each permission is for named foods at named levels, not a blanket one; the table on this page gives them with citations.
Is Glucosylated steviol glycosides vegan?: Yes. Glucosylated steviol glycosides is not derived from animals, and is suitable for vegetarians. This page says what it is made from and how.
