Notice of Modification to the List of Permitted Preservatives to Enable the Use of Potassium Lactate and Sodium Lactate as Preservatives in Unstandardized and Certain Standardized Marine and Fresh Water Animal Products - Document Reference Number: NOM/ADM-0064 |
Summary |
Health Canada's Food Directorate completed a detailed safety assessment of a food additive submission seeking approval for the use of potassium lactate and sodium lactate as antimicrobial preservatives in unstandardized marine and fresh water animal products and certain standardized marine and fresh water animal products.
Potassium lactate and sodium lactate are already permitted for use in Canada as preservatives in the List of Permitted Preservatives (http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/fnan/
securit/addit/list/11-preserv-conserv-eng.php).
The results of Health Canada's evaluation of available scientific data support the safety and efficacy of potassium lactate and sodium lactate when used as requested by the
petitioner. Therefore, Health Canada has modified the List of Permitted Preservatives, effective 8 January 2016.
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.
Health Canada's Food Directorate is committed to reviewing any new scientific information on the safety in use of any food additive, including potassium lactate and
sodium lactate. Anyone wishing to submit new scientific information on the use of these food additives or to submit any inquiries may do so in writing, by regular mail or
electronically.
