Notice of Modification to the List of Permitted Food Additives with Other Accepted Uses to Enable the Use of Calcium Chloride as a Meat Tenderizing Agent in Certain Standardized Meat Products
Background
Health Canada's Food Directorate completed a scientific assessment of a food additive submission seeking approval for the use of calcium chloride to tenderize cuts of beef and lamb meat.
Calcium chloride already has a number of permitted food additive uses in a variety of foods but there are no provisions for its use in meat products.
The results of Health Canada's evaluation of available scientific data support the safety of calcium chloride, as requested by the petitioner. Therefore, Health Canada has modified the List of Permitted Food Additives with Other Accepted Uses, effectiveMay 3, 2017.
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.
