Vietnam Sanitary and Phytosanitary Notification Authority and Enquiry Point

The purpose of this notice is to inform consumers and interested stakeholders that Health Canada's Food Directorate completed a safety assessment of phosphatidylserine derived from soy. 

The results of the assessment support the safety of phosphatidylserine made from food grade soy lecithin, provided levels of use do not exceed intakes of 300 mg per day, do not exceed 300 mg per serving, and that certain other compositional and labelling requirements are met as described in the information document referenced above.

The above modification came into force on 18 April 2024, the day it was published in the List of Permitted Supplemental Ingredients. 

Health Canada's Food Directorate is committed to reviewing new scientific information on the safety of permitted supplemental ingredients, including phosphatidylserine (soy). Anyone wishing to submit an inquiry or new scientific information on the use of this supplemental ingredient may do so in writing, by regular mail or electronically.
