Not necessarily. Whole leaf and crude Stevia extracts are currently not considered GRAS (generally recognized as safe) and have not been approved as food additives.

Only specific manufacturers of the highly refined extracts (Rebaudioside A) have been given GRAS status. These companies and products are listed on FDA's website under "GRAS Notices."

Why is silica added to stevia?

Silica is added to stevia as an anti-caking agent to prevent clumping and ensure the powdered stevia remains free-flowing. Silica is a common food additive that is generally recognized as safe by the FDA. It helps maintain the quality and texture of the stevia product by absorbing excess moisture and preventing the formation of lumps.

Where can you buy Simply sweet table sweetener?

Be careful what brand of Stevia you purchase. It might be a good idea to find out where the company gets their Stevia from and how it is produced ie. cultivated on a Stevia farm or in a lab and where. A lot are being sold in the stores now but just be cautious. You may want to look into Stevita brand Stevia. They actually cultivate their stevia on farms in Brazil which is one of the places Stevia originated from centuries ago. You can find Stevita Stevia products at SteviaSmart.com In December 2008, the FDA approved Rebaudioside-A (a sweet stevioside extracted from stevia plants) for use as a food additive. It has become available in mainstream grocery stores under the brand names Truvia or PureVia. Otherwise, pure stevioside extract (which includes Reb-A and other steviosides) has been available for years in powder and liquid form from natural food stores such as Whole Foods and Trader Joe's.
