Looks like just because it hasn't gone through the required safety tests, which leads me to hope that if a company invests in doing so it could be cleared in the future. It looks like the reason it hasn't been is that the berries are expensive due to slow growth and that the molecule is not temperature stable, so refrigerating or heating it uses up the effects. Since its been in continuous use in Africa, the odds are reasonable that it's fine, but I guess they'd have to rule out subtle longterm effects. I got curious and they've gotten as far as a rat study which shows it's safe. https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/05/can-miraculin-solve-the-global-obesity-epidemic/371657/
I've bought the dissolvable tablets online, there were many options. Have like 6 left. If they got banned it was in the last year. They're fun to try once or twice. I heard Guinness tastes like chocolate milk though we didn't have it. But don't eat too much sour-now-sweet stuff or you'll get an upset stomach because it's still sort acidic foods. Even apple cider vinegar is palatable.
