Overview

E960 - Steviol glycosides

Steviol glycosides (E960) are high‑intensity sweeteners purified from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant. They taste very sweet with virtually no calories and are used in many sugar‑reduced foods and drinks.

E960D - Glucosylated steviol glycosides

Glucosylated steviol glycosides (E960D) are high‑intensity sweeteners made by adding extra glucose units to stevia leaf sweeteners. This tweak smooths out bitter notes and improves dissolving, so they work well in drinks, dairy, and low‑sugar foods.

Popular questions

Is stevia leaf extract bad for you?
No—high-purity steviol glycosides (E960) are considered safe by major regulators when consumed within the acceptable daily intake of 4 mg/kg body weight/day (as steviol equivalents). Some people may notice a bitter aftertaste or mild gastrointestinal upset at high intakes.
Is stevia leaf extract safe during pregnancy?
Yes—high‑purity steviol glycosides are considered safe in pregnancy at typical dietary levels. Avoid crude stevia leaf or unrefined extracts (not approved as sweeteners in some regions) and stay within normal amounts.
Can dogs have stevia leaf extract?
Stevia (E960) is not known to be toxic to dogs, but large amounts can cause gastrointestinal upset. Ensure the product doesn’t contain xylitol or other additives harmful to pets.
Is stevia leaf extract safe?
Yes—high‑purity steviol glycosides are approved/GRAS as sweeteners and safe within the ADI of 4 mg/kg body weight/day (as steviol equivalents). Crude stevia leaf or whole‑leaf extracts are not approved as sweeteners in some regions.
Does stevia leaf extract have erythritol?
No—pure stevia leaf extract (E960) does not contain erythritol; erythritol (E968) is a separate sweetener. Many tabletop stevia products blend the two for bulk, so check the ingredient list.
