Health Canada's Food and Nutrition Directorate received a pre-market submission to modify the List of Permitted Supplemental Ingredients to permit no more than 30% juice in foods belonging to the category listed in item 1 of the List of Permitted Supplemented Food Categoriespermitted to contain added caffeine as a supplemental ingredient and a total caffeine content from all sources of more than 150 p.p.m.The Food and Nutrition Directorate also identified that specific terminology used in column 5 of caffeine entry (1) (Part IV: Other Supplemental Ingredients, C.1) in the List of Permitted Supplemental Ingredients does not align with the phrasing in column 5 for caffeine entry (2).
