Health Canada's Food Directorate completed a safety assessment of modified vinegar for use as a preservative in various standardized meat and poultry products as well as in unstandardized preparations of meat and poultry products.
The Notice of Health Canada's Proposal to Enable the Use of Modified Vinegar as a Preservative in Certain Meat and Poultry Products and Preparations [NOP/ADP-0036] was published on 22 December 2020. The proposal was open to the public for comment for 75 days. A summary of Health Canada's response to the comments received during this period is available in the information document.
The results of the assessment support the safety of modified vinegar when used as described in the information document. Consequently, Health Canada has enabled this use of modified vinegar by modifying Part 2 of the List of Permitted Preservatives, effective 8 November 2021.
The purpose of this communication is to publically announce the Department's decision in this regard and to provide the appropriate contact information for those wishing to submit an inquiry or new scientific information relevant to the safety of this food additive.
