Canada proposes modification to the Lists of Permitted Food Additives to Extend the Use of Potassium Phosphate, dibasic, to the Same Foods and Levels of Use as Currently Permitted for Sodium Phosphate, dibasic

Health Canada Food Directorate completed a premarket safety assessment of a food additive submission seeking approval to extend the use of potassium phosphate, dibasic, to the same foods and same levels of use as is currently permitted for sodium phosphate, dibasic, in the List of Permitted Emulsifying, Gelling, Stabilizing or Thickening Agents, the List of Permitted Food Additives with Other Accepted Uses, the List of Permitted pH Adjusting, Agents, Acid-Reacting Materials and Water Correcting Agents, and the List of Permitted Sequestering Agents.

Potassium phosphate, dibasic, is already permitted for use in Canada as a food additive in various standardized and unstandardized foods.

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 addtive
