Canada
Mar 11, 2025
The Food and Nutrition Directorate received a request to modify the List of Permitted Supplemental Ingredients to allow the use of synthetic caffeine (caffeine anhydrous) in "gummies with a texture spanning from hard to soft" in a maximum amount of 100 mg per serving under the same conditions of use set out for caffeine as a supplemental ingredient in chocolate confectioneries.
No safety concerns were identified regarding the use of caffeine in foods belonging to the category listed in item 6 of the List of Permitted Supplemented Food Categories under the same conditions as already permitted for caffeine as a supplemental ingredient in foods listed in item 7 of the same List, provided that products containing more than 56 mg of caffeine carry the label statement "Do not [eat/drink] on the same day as any other source of caffeine" to caution consumers against consuming these products and other sources of caffeine on the same day.
