Proposal to modify the List of Permitted Supplemental Ingredients to permit 30% juice in certain caffeinated beverages. |
| Summary |
Health Canada's Food and Nutrition Directorate received a premarket submission to modify the List of Permitted Supplemental Ingredients to permit no more than 30% juice in foods belonging to the category listed in item 1 of the List of Permitted Supplemented Food Categories, permitted to contain added caffeine as a supplemental ingredient and a total caffeine content from all sources of more than 150 p.p.m.
The Food and Nutrition Directorate also identified that specific terminology used in column 5 of caffeine entry (1) (Part IV: Other Supplemental Ingredients, C.1) in the List of Permitted Supplemental Ingredients does not align with the phrasing in column 5 for caffeine entry (2). Additionally, in the French version of the List, the wording for the corresponding entry for caffeine (2) is not an accurate translation of the English version. As a result, minor inconsistencies in the indicated caffeine entries are present in the English and French versions of the List.
The purpose of the notice is to publicly announce Health Canada's intentions in this regard and provide the appropriate contact information for those wishing to submit comments on the proposal.
