I-Stevia yigama elijwayelekile futhi ihlanganisa indawo ebanzi ukusuka esitshalweni kuya ekukhishweni.

Ngokuvamile, ukukhishwa kweqabunga le-Stevia elihlanzekile kuqukethe u-95% noma ukuhlanzeka okukhulu kwama-SG, njengoba kushiwo ekubuyekezweni kokuphepha kwe-JEFCA ngo-2008, okusekelwa izikhungo zokulawula ezimbalwa ezihlanganisa i-FDA ne-European Commission.I-JEFCA (2010) igunyaze ama-SG ayisishiyagalolunye okuhlanganisa i-stevioside, i-rebaudiosides (A, B, C, D, kanye no-F), i-steviolbioside, i-rubososide, ne-dulcoside A.

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, i-European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) yamemezela incwadi E eqokelwe u-SG njenge-E960 ngo-2010. I-E960 okwamanje isetshenziselwa ukucacisa isithasiselo sokudla e-EU nanoma yikuphi ukulungiswa okuqukethe ama-SG angekho ngaphansi kuka-95% ubumsulwa be-10 (i-SG eyodwa eyengeziwe ngenhla i-Reb E) ngesisekelo esomisiwe.Imithetho iphinde ichaze ukusetshenziswa kwe-stevioside kanye/noma amalungiselelo e-rebaudioside kakhulu njengasezingeni lama-75% noma ngaphezulu.

E-China, ukukhishwa kwe-Stevia kulawulwa ngaphansi kwamazinga e-GB2760-2014 steviol glycoside, yathi imikhiqizo eminingi ingasebenzisa i-stevia kuze kufike kumthamo we-10g/kg yomkhiqizo wetiye, kanye nomthamo wobisi oluvutshiwe oluyi-0.2g/kg, futhi ingasetshenziswa emikhiqizweni engezansi: Izithelo ezilondoloziwe, Ibhikawozi/ amantongomane athosiwe nembewu, uswidi, uJeli, isinongo njll.

Ama-ejensi amaningana alawulayo okuhlanganisa iKomidi Lesayensi Lezithako Zokudla phakathi kuka-1984 no-1999, i-JEFCA ngo-2000–10, kanye ne-EFSA (2010–15) yaqoka ama-SG njengenhlanganisela yesishukela, kanti ama-ejensi amabili okugcina abike isincomo sokusetshenziswa kwama-SG njengo-4. mg/kg umzimba womuntu ngamunye ngosuku.I-Rebaudioside M enobumsulwa okungenani obungama-95% nayo yagunyazwa ngo-2014 yi-FDA (Prakash and Chaturvedula, 2016).Naphezu komlando omude we-S. rebaudiana eJapane naseParaguay, amazwe amaningi amukele i-Stevia njengesengezo sokudla ngemva kokucabangela ukucatshangelwa okuhlukile kwezindaba zezempilo (Ithebula 4.2).
