    The German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment has studied the stability of sucralose and its possibility of forming potentially harmful chlorinated compounds at high temperatures.
    According to the research results of the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment, when sucralose is heated to 120°C to 150°C (in industrial production and food processing, and when consumers cook and bake at home) sweeteners will decompose And dechlorination.
    This can lead to the formation of chlorinated organic compounds with potential health risks, such as polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD), dibenzofurans (PCDF) and chloropropanol.
     
      However, there is currently insufficient data to draw a final conclusion.
    On the one hand, it is not clear which toxic reaction products will be produced and how much they are formed.
    In addition, conducting an exposure assessment within the scope of the risk assessment requires representative data on the level of the food so manufactured.
     
      The European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) is currently reassessing the processing of sucralose in the context of authorized food additives.
    The results of the evaluation have not yet been determined.
    Before obtaining a conclusive risk assessment, the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment advises consumers and food manufacturers not to heat food containing sucralose at high temperatures.
