Canada
May 04, 2021
Health Canada's Food Directorate completed safety assessments of carrageenan, gellan gum, lecithin, monoglycerides, potassium citrate, potassium hydroxide, and sodium citrate for use in human milk fortifier (HMF).
The results of these assessments support the safety of these food additives for use in HMF. Consequently, Health Canada has enabled their use as described in the information document below by modifying the List of Permitted Emulsifying, Gelling, Stabilizing or Thickening Agents and the List of Permitted pH Adjusting Agents, Acid-Reacting Materials and Water Correcting Agents, effective April 14, 2021.
