Very interesting article about Stevia and the FDA.. newage.com But just as the industry was poised to take off, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched a particularly aggressive search-and- seizure campaign that was followed in 1991 by a virtual blockade of stevia through the issuance of an "import alert." In the fall of 1994, the agency was forced to modify the alert after Congress passed the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, which allows the herb to be sold if it is formulated and labeled strictly for use as a "dietary supplement." The agency still restricts stevia's use in teas and other food products, however, and notes that any mention of the herb's sweetening ability could bring its regulatory wrath.
