Notice of Modification to the List of Permitted Emulsifying, Gelling, Stabilizing or Thickening Agents to Enable the Use of Gellan Gum in Certain Standardized Flavoured Milks - Reference Number: NOM/ADM-0119. |
| Summary |
Health Canada's Food Directorate completed a detailed safety evaluation of a food additive submission seeking approval for the use of gellan gum in the manufacture of certain standardized flavoured milks.
Gellan gum is already permitted for use in unstandardized dairy products and unstandardized beverages at maximum levels of use of 0.15% and 0.08%, respectively.
As the safety in use of the additive was supported by Health Canada's evaluation, the Department has enabled the use of the food additive gellan gum described in the information document below by updating the List of Permitted Emulsifying, Gelling, Stabilizing or Thickening Agents, effective 9 July 2018.
The purpose of this communication is to publically announce the Department's decision in this regard and to provide the appropriate contact information for any inquiries or for those wishing to submit any new scientific information relevant to the safety of this food additive.
