Does AisleSwap interpret the phenylalanine warning?
No. That statement is outside the preference match. The app does not give phenylketonuria or other medical guidance.

What the label is naming
Aspartame is a high-intensity sweetener listed by that name or as E951. US diet sodas that use it print it in the ingredient list, sometimes with a phenylalanine statement elsewhere on the can. That separate statement is not required for the match and is not medical advice from AisleSwap.
Where it hides
Diet colas, tabletop sweetener packets, sugar-free gum, and some drink mixes. It does not survive long baking as well as some other sweeteners, so it is less common in cookies than sucralose.
