[How curious! The FDA took this action only after a court challenge and subsequent order to do so, based on the Delaney Clause, which was the core of my friend Dr. Betty Martini's petition to the FDA to remove aspartame's approval by the FDA. That petition, although submitted several times, has been routinely ignored and dodged by the FDA which stated that they never received it although sent by certified mail.]
Statement in full by Dr. Betty Martini, D.Hum, Founder, Mission Possible International:
The problem is the FDA treats all of its actions as "above the law." There are many things on the market that violate the Delaney Amendment. Acesulfame potassium caused cancer and leukemia in original studies and is mentioned in aspartame books. Dr. Morando Soffritti who did the Ramazzini studies on aspartame finding it to be a multipotential carcinogen also did a study on sucralose and found it to be a carcinogen.
Today FDA ignores products that violate Delaney. In the case of aspartame the FDA admitted aspartame caused brain tumors and brain cancer and violated the Delaney Amendment. I wrote an article about it: "No Safe Dose of Aspartame"
nhf.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/HFN_2012-2.pdf (published by the National Health Federation).
The interesting thing is Dr. Adrian Gross who originally investigated aspartame when he was at FDA even went to G. D. Searle and exposed them on aspartame and cancer and other problems.
Jerome Bressler (Bressler Report: .mpwhi.com/complete_bressler_report.pdf) was interviewed by the Chicago Tribune but the story was never published. During the interview, Bressler said when Dr. Gross went to Searle they would lock the door and Gross would threaten to get a court order. He knew of the many cancers aspartame causes.
When it was approved through the political chicanery of Don Rumsfeld, Dr. Gross testified before the Senate on 8/1/85 that not only does aspartame cause cancer but FDA should not have been even able to set an allowable daily intake. He ended by saying "If the FDA violates its own laws, who is left to protect the public?"
So there is no safe dose of the carcinogen aspartame. Even when studies were done at the famed Ramazzini Institute in Italy and by Harvard showing aspartame to be a multipotential carcinogen, the FDA uses any silly excuse not to accept the conclusive Ramazzini studies, because then they have to admit aspartame violated the Delaney Amendment.
You have colored dyes that have been proven to be carcinogenic but they are still on the market violating Delaney. The FDA simply postpones removing them from the market. When Senomyx was approved, it was found out that a component of this genetically engineered additive could be embryonic kidney cells from aborted fetuses.

Knowing this you may wish to avoid it and do what I did: call the FDA to find out how it's labeled. The reply was "It comes under artificial flavors." So unless you know the companies that use it, like soda pop companies, how can you avoid it?
One day an article appeared in Google search stating that Neotame (a stronger aspartame) is now in pork. Where is the labeling or the legally mandated Phenylketoneuric Warning required by law?
After even a brief investigation, you might pose the question of "why is aspartame still on the market since it causes cancer and violates Delaney?"
Dr. Woodrow Monte, author of "While Science Sleeps: A Sweetener Kills," took aspartame legal challenges to the US Supreme Court and says they refused to hear it.
12 toxicologists filed a petition to ban aspartame. Pediatrician Dr. Ken Stoller filed a petition to ban; I filed a petition to ban in 2002.
