Modification to the List of permitted preservatives to extend the use of nisin |
| Summary |
Health Canada's Food Directorate completed a premarket safety assessment of a food additive submission seeking authorization for the use of nisin in eggwhite wraps.
The results of the premarket assessment support the safety and efficacy of nisin for use as a preservative in egg-white wraps. Consequently, Health Canada has extended the use of nisinas described in the information document above by modifying the List of permitted preservatives, effective 30 May 2024.
The purpose of this communication is to publicly announce the Department's intention 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.
