據英國食品標準局消息，英國食品、消費品及環境中化學品毒性委員會（COT）審查了有關阿斯巴甜的研究認為，現有的結果表明，阿斯巴甜健康風險較低，無需采取健康保護措施。該研究報告已提交到了同行評審雜志以供出版，委員會討論的完整記錄還不能公布，但是可以先查看完整的COT意見書。
部分原文報道如下：
The Committee on Toxicity of Chemicals in Food, Consumer products and the Environment （COT） has peer reviewed a double blind randomised crossover study of aspartame, commissioned by the Food Standards Agency （FSA）。 COT is a committee of independent experts that provides advice to the FSA and other parts of government.
The research aimed to record any effects from eating a snack bar that may or may not have contained aspartame. The study recruited individuals who reported reactions after consuming aspartame, alongside a matched control group of individuals who normally consume foods containing aspartame without problems.
