Rebaudioside A was administered via the diet to male and female Han Wistar rats at 0, 7500, 12,500, and 25,000 ppm for two generations. Rebaudioside A treatment was not associated with any signs of clinical toxicity or adverse effects on body weight, body weight gain, or food consumption. No treatment-related effects of rebaudioside A were observed in either the F-0 or F-1 generations on reproductive performance parameters including mating performance, fertility, gestation lengths, oestrous cycles, or sperm motility, concentration, or morphology. The survival and general condition of the F-1 and F-2 offspring, their pre-weaning reflex development, overall body weight gains, and the timing of sexual maturation, were not adversely affected by rebaudioside A treatment. The NOAEL for reproductive effects was 25,000 ppm and the NOAEL for the survival, development, and general condition of the offspring also was considered to be 25,000 ppm or 2048-2273 mg/kg body weight/day.
