Alitame
INS 956
INS 956, alitame, Aclame
What it is
A high-intensity non-sugar sweetener identified by JECFA and Codex as INS 956.
Why BOTIA flags it
BOTIA flags an explicit alitame declaration because it may appear by name or INS number in markets where its use is permitted. International evaluation or a Codex provision does not mean the additive is authorised in every jurisdiction.
BOTIA CAN
- Detect alitame and INS 956 when explicitly declared.
- Show the sweetener and international-numbering context while keeping market-specific authorisation separate.
BOTIA CANNOT
- Determine concentration or total intake from the ingredient list.
- Assume that Codex/JECFA recognition equals legal authorisation in every country.
