Question
Is acesulfame potassium safe to consume during pregnancy?

Answer
Hello Jennifer!

   Thank you for your nutrition question.  Acesulfame Potassium an artificial sweetener added to baked goods, frozen deserts, sugar free gelatins, puddings and beverages. It has been deemed safe to use in moderation during pregnancy by the FDA. This means you may include it in your diet however, don't include it in every meal only on occasion.
   Since you are expecting I highly recommend you check out the book I helped to coauthor called "The Healthy Pregnancy Cookbook: Eating Twice as Well for a Healthy Baby"

Hope this helps
