Canada expands use of sweetener sucralose in liquid protein supplement

Canada

Jul 12, 2024

Health Canada has modified its List of Permitted Sweeteners to allow the use of sucralose in ready-to-serve liquid protein modular supplements for adults.

This decision follows a submission by a petitioner requesting a maximum sucralose level of 0.08% in these supplements, intended for use under medical supervision. Health Canada’s Food and Nutrition Directorate conducted a safety assessment, considering allergenicity, chemistry, nutrition, and toxicology. The results confirmed the safety of sucralose at the requested level, leading to the addition of subitem S.2(20) to the permitted sweeteners list.
