The purpose of this notice is to inform interested stakeholders of the Minister of Health's intent to amend the Marketing Authorization for Food Additives with Other Generally Accepted Uses to allow for the addition of food additives for new purposes of use to the incorporated List of Permitted Food Additives with Other Generally Accepted Uses. Paragraph 2(1)(a) of this marketing authorization (MA) presently limits the purposes of use that may appear on the incorporated list to those that were mentioned in column III of Table VIII, Part B, Division 16 of the Food and Drug Regulations on the day on which the MA and its incorporated list were made (25 October 2012). Until paragraph 2(1)(a) is amended, Health Canada's Food Directorate is unable to administratively amend the List of Permitted Food Additives with Other Generally Accepted Uses to permit food additives for new purposes of use that it has assessed as safe. Interested persons may make representations, with respect to the Minister of Health's intent to issue this MA, within 75 calendar days after the date of publication of this notice (by 22 November 2016).
