E961 Neotame Sweetener - Yet another example of EU declaring that food additives are "safe and non-toxic" when they are not, I have an obvious food allergy/intolerance reaction to all of the artificial sweeteners except Stevia (refined but sourced from plant leaves), causing bowel/bladder/urinary tract irritation, laxative effects and sensation of bloating and swollenness, until I have drunk enough filtered water to get it out of my system, really wish there were detailed research studies about artificial sweeteners causing insulin resistance, metabolism problems and otherwise contributing to the development of Type 2 Diabetes by increasing cravings for high sugar high carb refined foods.
