Brazil – ANVISA prohibits products containing allulose as an ingredient.
The National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) published RESOLUTION-RE No 5,157 of December 19, 2025, which prohibits all lots of the product Allulose from Sainte Marie Importação e Exportação. The measure prohibits the sale, distribution, import, advertising, and use of the product.
Allulose is not included on the list of substances authorized by ANVISA for use as a sweetener or food ingredient in Brazil.
All foods or ingredients without a history of consumption in Brazil are classified as novel and, therefore, must be submitted to ANVISA for evaluation. Therefore, the interested company must submit technical and scientific documents for review by the Agency.
In this analysis, ANVISA verifies whether the manufacturing process of the new food or ingredient introduces or concentrates substances that may have harmful health effects, or whether the recommended intake exceeds levels considered safe.
