| FDA tells Melville tea maker to stop using stevia
Federal regulators have warned Melville-based food company Hain Celestial Group Inc. to stop selling certain tea flavors because they contain "an unsafe food additive."
The Food and Drug Administration told the company to stop marketing products containing stevia, an organic sweetener that research has connected to "concerns about control of blood sugar, and effects on the reproductive, cardiovascular and renal systems."
Stevia, which is derived from a South American herb and has many times the sweetness of sugar without any calories, is approved for sale as a dietary supplement -- a market that is less regulated than conventional food.
