Oct 05, 2021

Health Canada’s Food Directorate completed a detailed premarket safety assessment of a food additive submission seeking approval for the use of long-chain glycolipids from Dacryopinax spathularia MUCL 53181 as a preservative in certain standardized and unstandardized non-alcoholic beverages. The results of the premarket assessment support the safety and efficacy of long-chain glycolipids from D. spathularia MUCL 53181 for its requested uses as antibacterial and antifungal/antimycotic agents. Consequently, Health Canada intends to enable the use of long-chain glycolipids from D. spathularia MUCL 53181 by modifying Part 2 and Part 3 of the List of Permitted Preservatives as described in the information document referenced below.
