10 sachet 40g per pack Food and Drug Administration allows the local selling of magic sugar in the country but with strict authorization. The permission was released despite the studies showing that consumption such can cause urinary bladder tumors. Based on the advisory signed by FDA Acting Director Dr. Kenneth Hartigan-Go, all importers, traders and distributors are ordered to apply market authorization from the agency to ensure proper labeling and safe use of the product. Magic Sugar is sodium cyclamate. Depending on the concentration, it is an artificial sweetener that is 30 to 50 times sweeter than sugar. In the Philippines, because it is cheaper and many times sweeter than cane sugar, it is used by sidewalk vendors to sweeten their juice and snack products. The FDA said its decision to allow "magic sugar" to be sold in the country was based on Codex Standard 192-1995 on Additives Permitted for Use under Specified Conditions in Certain Food Categories or Individual Food Items and Other Provisions of Codex General Standard for Food Additives (GSFA). The agency also added that the maximum level of magic sugar in food is indicated in the GSFA. This statement ensures people that the food processors must adhere to the Codex standard to properly declare the use of artificial sweeteners in product labels. Codex is a committee for international food standards established by Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Health Organization (WHO) which develop uniform guidelines and codes of practice to protect consumer's health and guarantee fair practices in international food trade.
