食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊  據加拿大衛生部消息，4月24日加拿大衛生部發(fā)布通知，修訂甜味劑允許列表，批準糖精、糖精鈣、糖精鉀和糖精鈉作為甜味劑用于各種非標準化食品，并自發(fā)布之日起生效。

    加拿大有標準化食品與非標準化食品。以下是兩者的定義：

    The Food and Drug Regulations contain composition descriptions of certain foods that specify, for example, what is allowed in those foods as ingredients. These descriptions are standards of identity and composition that have to be met for a food to be legally called by the name in the standard. The foods are referred to as “standardized foods”. Examples of Standardized Foods include bread, milk, cheese, orange juice, sausage, jam, wine, beer and salt.

    Foods that do not have a standard of identity are referred to as “unstandardized foods”. Snack foods like potato chips, various bakery items such as rolls, donuts and cakes, yogurt, and pizza are examples of unstandardized foods.
