It's important to note that aspartame is not suitable for use in all cooking and baking applications, as it breaks down at high temperatures and loses its sweetness. Therefore, it is typically used in products that do not require heat during preparation or cooking. Additionally, individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU), a rare genetic disorder, need to avoid aspartame, as their bodies cannot metabolize phenylalanine, one of the amino acids in aspartame. As with any food additive, regulatory agencies set acceptable daily intake levels for aspartame to ensure its safety for consumption.
