食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊  據(jù)加拿大衛(wèi)生部消息，10月3日加拿大衛(wèi)生部發(fā)布通告，批準(zhǔn)次氯酸鈣作為淀粉改性劑。

    加拿大衛(wèi)生部稱，自3月28日發(fā)布以上提案以來，未收到相關(guān)評(píng)論，而且經(jīng)過風(fēng)險(xiǎn)評(píng)估也未發(fā)現(xiàn)問題，因此決定更新淀粉改性劑列表，批準(zhǔn)次氯酸鈣作為淀粉改性劑，自10月3日起生效。

    部分原文報(bào)道如下：

    Since this is a food additive that was not previously permitted for use in Canada, Health Canada published a Notice of Proposal to Enable the Use of a New Food Additive, Calcium Hypochlorite, as a Starch-Modifying Agent on March 28, 2014, requesting comments. No comments were received by the Department as a result of this publication.

    As no safety concerns were raised through this assessment, the Department has enabled the food additive use described in the information document by modifying the List of Permitted Starch-Modifying Agents, effective October 03, 2014. 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.
