Health Canada's Food Directorate completed a premarket safety assessment of modified vinegar for use as a preservative in the same meat and poultry products and preparations that are already permitted to be made with potassium acetate, potassium diacetate, sodium acetate and sodium diacetate. The results of the premarket assessment support the safety of modified vinegar for these uses. Consequently, Health Canada intends to enable the use of modified vinegar by modifying Part 2 of the List of Permitted Preservatives as described in the information document. The purpose of this communication is to publically announce the Department's intention in this regard and to provide the appropriate contact information for any inquiries or for those wishing to submit new scientific information relevant to the safety of this food additive.

Since 2008, all dunnage that is discharged in Canada is considered non-compliant as segregation of ISPM-compliant and non-compliant dunnage after discharge has been difficult. Inspection after discharge through piles of dunnage is a safety hazard and inefficient. Also, the CFIA periodically finds traces of living pests in ISPM-15-stamped wood packaging material, including shipborne dunnage. RMD-20-02 proposes four risk management options to uniformly, safely and efficiently manage shipborne dunnage brought into Canada. The recommended option is an audit-based program with preventive control plans that restrict reuse of shipborne dunnage during low-risk periods and asks for mandatory disposal during high-risk periods.
