Tiêu đề Health Canada's Proposal to Add Cyanide in Apricot Kernels to the List of Contaminants and Other Adulterating Substances in Foods.
Tóm tắt

Food  contaminants  and  other  adulterating  substances  are chemicals  that  may  be  present  in  foods  at  levels  that  could  impact  the  overall  safety and/or quality of foods. These substances can either be inadvertently or naturally present in  foods  or  in  some  cases  intentionally  added  for  fraudulent  purposes.  Establishing  a prohibition or a maximum level (ML) are forms of risk management that may be employed to eliminate or reduce exposure to a particular chemical contaminant in foods. Canadian prohibitions and MLs for chemical contaminants in food are set out in Part 1 and Part 2, respectively,  of  the  List  of  Contaminants  and  Other  Adulterating  Substances  in  Foods,which is incorporated by reference into section B.15.001 of Division 15 of the Food and Drug  Regulations  (the  Regulations).  Maximum  levels  are  also  set  out  in  the  List  of Maximum  Levels  for  Various  Chemical  Contaminants  in  Foods,  which  is  maintained  on Health Canada's website. All prohibitions and MLs for contaminants in food are established by Health Canada's Food Directorate based on scientific evidence and in consultation with stakeholders and are enforceable by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
New information regarding how raw apricot kernels are being sold in Canada is available. There are also indications that consumers may not be aware of or follow Health Canada's existing  consumption  advisory  for  adults  to  consume  no  more  than  three  bitter  apricot kernels  a  day  and  that  they  should  not  be  consumed  by  children.  This  suggests  that further  risk  management  actions  are  required  to  address  any  potential  health  risks associated  with  acute  cyanide  poisoning  from  the  consumption  of  raw  apricot  kernels, which can lead to serious adverse health effects.
The  purpose  of  this  notice  is  to  seek  feedback  on  three  risk  management  options  to protect Canadians from the risk of cyanide exposure due to the consumption of apricot kernels.
