Notice of Modification to the List of Permitted Colouring Agents to Extend the Use of Allura Red to Fruit Flavoured Beer |
Summary |
Health Canada's Food Directorate completed a premarket safety assessment of a food additive submission seeking authorization for the use of allura red in fruit flavoured beer at a maximum level of use of 10 p.p.m. The function of this food additive is to give a hint of colour indicative of the fruit flavour added to the product.
The results of the premarket assessment support the safety of allura red for its requested use. Consequently, Health Canada has extended the use of allura red as described in the information document referenced above by modifying the List of Permitted Colouring Agents, effective on 12 December 2023.
The purpose of the information document is to publicly 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.
