Hansen's Diet Soda with Stevia?

I received an email yesterday from the Consumer Relations Manager for the Hansen Beverage Company. It was in response to my question regarding the use of Splenda instead of Stevia in their diet sodas. My suspicions were right; Hansen's went with Splenda because of the prior FDA stance that Stevia be sold as only a dietary supplement.

With the recent FDA green light for rebaudioside A to be extracted from the Stevia herb and used as a sweetener, Hansen's product development team may have a new sweetener for their diet sodas. Only time will tell ...

FYI, I called Hansens about two months ago and they are coming out with Diet Soda with Stevia instead of Splenda! They weren't sure when they were launching it, but it was in the works. :-)
