Abstract in brief

The EFSA Panel reviewed the safety of Monk fruit extract as a food additive, focusing on its main components, mogrosides, especially mogroside V, which can be absorbed by the body.
While initial tests showed no mutagenic or chromosomal damage, concerns remain about the limited data on the potential toxicity of metabolites produced after microbial metabolism, and possible effects on the testes observed in short-term studies.
Due to insufficient toxicity data, including long-term or carcinogenicity studies, the Panel concluded that it cannot currently confirm the safety of Monk fruit extract for use as a food additive.]
