Aspartame impurities are substances that are present in small amounts in aspartame, an artificial sweetener. These impurities can be formed during the manufacturing process of aspartame or can be present as residual chemicals that are not fully removed during purification. Some of these impurities have been found to have potential health risks and are regulated by authorities such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is important to monitor and control the levels of these impurities to ensure the safety of aspartame as a food additive.
