Abstract
⺠Presence of sucralose in the aquatic environment has led to concern for toxic effects to non-target species. ⺠Sucralose's physico-chemical properties favor partitioning to the water phase once discharged to the environment. ⺠Sucralose displays a low degradation potential, but does not bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms. ⺠No adverse toxic effects of sucralose have been reported in aquatic plants, algae, crustaceans and fish. ⺠Risk assessment proposes a PEC/PNEC ratio well below 1 and suggests negligible risk to aquatic organisms.
