Health Canada updates permitted food additives
Canada
Nov 05, 2024
Health Canada intends to set out specific permitted uses of food colours and preservatives in "(naming the flavour) Extract or (naming the flavour) Essence" and of food colours, preservatives and emulsifying agents in "(naming the flavour) Flavour" in the Lists of Permitted Food Additives. The specific uses are based on the functional class food additive provisions currently set out in the food compositional standards for these two types of flavouring preparations and information Health Canada received from industry on the use of food additives from these functional classes in flavouring preparations.
The new list entries will accommodate uses of food additives where the food additive is intended to function as such in the standardized flavouring preparation. Premixes of the standardized flavouring preparation and one or more food additives where the food additive(s) is/are intended to function in the food manufactured with the premix are not covered by these new list entries. However, such premixes will be addressed by separate regulatory provisions in the final Regulations Amending Certain Regulations Concerning Food Additives and Compositional Standards, Microbiological Criteria and Methods of Analysis for Food, which will be published in Canada Gazette, Part II.
