The World Health Organization (WHO) is set to declare the popular artificial sweetener aspartame as "possibly carcinogenic to humans" next month, a move that could send shockwaves through the food industry.

According to Reuters, the WHO's cancer research arm, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), had a meeting with external experts to determine if the additive poses a potential hazard or not. They are expected to officially announce its decision on July 14.
