Here is a recent FDA document that gives you a sense of their position on Stevia.

(Aside: there is chlorine (Cl) in table salt (NaCl) whose chemical name is sodium chloride and stomach acid which is hydrochloric acid (HCl). Chlorine molecules are found in many things you eat. It is not a problem when it is bound to another molecule like sodium. You just want to be careful not to breath pure chlorine gase - it can be quite poisonious
