The sweeteners are chemical substances with the capacity to replace all or part of sugar, first formulated to meet the diabetic population, are currently being used to reduce and control calorie intake by the population. The objective of this study was to evaluate the perception of consumers about the consumption of sweeteners and to determine the daily intake values of this additive by the participants. The methodology of this study consisted of applying a questionnaire via Google Forms regarding demographic data and the profile of consumers of food with sweeteners, such as the reason for consumption, the presença of pathologies, products consumed, frequency of consumption, amount ingested, and body weight. The collected data were tabulated in Microsoft Office Excel 2013. It was found that the main reason for the consumption of diet/light products and liquid tabletop sweeteners and sachets is the concern with health, it was also observed that the majority(51%) claimed to know the sweetener used in formation of the products consumed and that the intake of diet/light products was directly proporcional to the education and income of the participants. Last but not least, it was also verified that none of the participants exceeded the acceptable daily intake index, thus the consumption of these products did not pose any toxicological risk to the group studied.
