Notice is hereby given that Health Canada has received a request to continue to permit the use of caffeine and caffeine citrate as food additives in non-alcoholic carbonated water-based flavoured and sweetened beverages other than cola-type beverages, notified under G/SPS/N/CAN/439. The maximum level of use of caffeine and caffeine citrate (calculated as caffeine), used singly or in combination in these beverages, would be 150 ppm in the finished product. This authorization is intended to provide for the continued addition of caffeine and caffeine citrate to the beverages commonly referred to as carbonated soft drinks, other than cola-type soft drinks. This authorization does not change the provisions for the use of caffeine and caffeine citrate in cola-type beverages, which will continue to be permitted at a maximum level of use of 200 ppm in the finished product. As a means to improve the responsiveness of the regulatory system, an Interim Marketing Authorization (IMA) is being issued to continue to permit the use of caffeine and caffeine citrate, as indicated above, while the regulatory process to amend the Regulations continues.
