Vietnam Sanitary and Phytosanitary Notification Authority and Enquiry Point

Health Canada's Food and Nutrition Directorate completed a premarket safety assessment of a food additive submission seeking authorization for the use of sucralose in liquid protein preparations represented for use under medical supervision and by individuals 18 years of age or older. The results of the premarket assessment support the safety of sucralose for its requested use. Consequently, Health Canada has extended the use of sucralose as described in the information document by modifying the List of permitted sweeteners, effective 11 July 2024. 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.
