FDA Absurdity Continues - Natural Sweetener Stevia Under Attack While Aspartame, Splenda & Other Artificial Sweeteners Get Free Pass

Celestial Seasonings teas contain unapproved herb

Hain Celestial Group Inc., the maker of Celestial Seasonings teas, received a warning from U.S. regulators that some of its powdered drink mixes contain an unsafe herb.

Some Celestial Seasonings tea mixes, called Zingers to Go, contain a South American herb, stevia, that hasn't been approved by regulators, the Food and Drug Administration said in a warning letter posted Tuesday on its Web site.

Companies including Coca-Cola Co. and Cargill Inc. have been developing stevia as a sweetener. Until it's approved for use in foods, the FDA said it can't be added to Celestial Seasonings teas. Stevia is used in some countries, including Japan and China, where it's found in soy sauce.

''While FDA has received inquiries and petitions for the use of stevia or stevia extracts in food, data and information necessary to support the safe use have been lacking,'' according to the FDA letter.

The letter, dated Aug. 17, added that ''literature reports'' have raised ''concerns about control of blood sugar, and effects on the reproductive, cardiovascular and renal systems.''

The agency's letter named the company's Zingers to Go Tangerine Orange Wave Herb Tea as containing the additive. Other flavors of the Zingers to Go powdered drink mix also were labeled on the company's Web site as containing stevia, according to the letter.
