It has been shown to be safe for use in foods and beverages by the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA). Neotame has been used to treat wastewater in the treatment of toxic chemicals such as caproic acid. The water vapor from neotames reaction with phosphorus pentoxide may be analyzed using an analytical method. Neotame is not metabolized by the body and does not contain calories. It is made up of aspartame, phenylalanine, and methanol.
