Regulations Amending the Food and Drug Regulations (1632 – Phospholipase)

An Interim Marketing Authorization (“IMA”) was issued to permit the immediate use of the enzyme phospholipase as proposed in the submission while the regulatory process was undertaken to amend the Regulations. It was published in the government notices section of the Canada Gazette, Part I, on October 10, 2009 (G/SPS/N/CAN/399).

Evaluation of available data supports the safety and effectiveness of this food additive in the above specified uses. Therefore, the Food and Drug Regulations are amended to permit the use of the above noted food additive as described.
