FOOD AND DRUGS ACT

Food and Drug Regulations — Amendment

Interim Marketing Authorization

Provision currently exists in the Food and Drug Regulations for the use of cellulose as an anticaking agent in grated or shredded cheese at a maximum level of use of 2 percent. Furthermore, an Interim Marketing Authorization (IMA) was published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, on August 28, 1999, to permit the immediate use of powdered cellulose as a bulking agent, at maximum levels of use ranging from 0.5-50 percent, in a variety of foods while the regulatory process was undertaken to amend the Regulations.

Health Canada has received a submission to permit the use of powdered cellulose as a bulking agent in canapé toast at a maximum level of use of 2 percent. Evaluation of available data supports the safety and effectiveness for this new use of powdered cellulose.

The use of powdered cellulose in canapé toast will benefit the consumer through a greater availability of these products with improved quality. It will also benefit the industry by facilitating their production.

Therefore, it is the intention of Health Canada to recommend that the Food and Drug Regulations be amended to permit the use of powdered cellulose as a bulking agent in canapé toast at a maximum level of use of 2 percent.

As a means to improve the responsiveness of the regulatory system, an IMA is issued to permit the immediate use of powdered cellulose as indicated above while the regulatory process is undertaken to formally amend the Regulations.

Food and Drug Regulations — Amendment

Interim Marketing Authorization

Provision currently exists in the Food and Drug Regulations for the use of hydrogen peroxide as a food additive for a number of purposes. The permitted areas of use and their respective maximum levels listed are:

— in brewers' mash as a clarification aid at a maximum level of use of 135 parts per million (p.p.m.);

— in starch as a starch modifying agent at a maximum level of use consistent with good manufacturing practice; and

— in liquid whey destined for the manufacture of dried whey products at a maximum level of use of 100 p.p.m., to decolourize and maintain pH.

Health Canada has received a submission for the use of hydrogen peroxide as a bleaching agent in the production of oat hull fibre at a maximum level of use consistent with good manufacturing practice. Evaluation of available data supports the safety and effectiveness of this use of hydrogen peroxide.

The use of hydrogen peroxide will benefit both the Canadian consumers and industry by permitting the production of a better quality oat hull fibre that may be used as an ingredient in a variety of food products.

Therefore, it is the intention of Health Canada to recommend that the Food and Drug Regulations be amended to permit the use of hydrogen peroxide as a bleaching agent in the production of oat hull fibre at a maximum level of use consistent with good manufacturing practice.

As a means to improve the responsiveness of the regulatory system, an Interim Marketing Authorization (IMA) is being issued to permit the immediate use of hydrogen peroxide as indicated above while the regulatory process is undertaken to formally amend the Regulations.
