据了解,加拿大卫生部曾于2016年10月27日开始就此征求意见,评议期为75天。
加拿大卫生部经食品安全风险评估认为,高倍甜味剂Advantame用于部分食品不会对人体健康构成影响。鉴于此,更新许可甜味剂列表,批准其用于谷物早餐、烘焙食品、果酱、花生酱、糖浆、酸乳等食品。
部分原文报道如下:
Health Canada's Food Directorate completed a detailed safety assessment of a food additive submission seeking approval for the use of advantame as a sweetener in certain unstandardized foods, including unstandardized beverages.
Because this is a food additive that was not previously permitted for use in Canada, Health Canada published a Notice of Health Canada's Proposal to Enable the Use of a New Food Additive, Advantame, as a Sweetener in Certain Unstandardized Foods Including Certain Beverages - Reference Number: NOP/ADP-0022. The proposal was published on October 27, 2016, and was open to the public for comments for 75 days. No new scientific information was submitted to the Department during the comment period in response to this Notice of Proposal.
