据加拿大卫生部消息，4月24日加拿大卫生部发布通知，修订甜味剂允许列表，批准糖精、糖精钙、糖精钾和糖精钠作为甜味剂用于各种非标准化食品，并自发布之日起生效。

    加拿大有标准化食品与非标准化食品。以下是两者的定义：

    The Food and Drug Regulations contain composition descriptions of certain foods that specify, for example, what is allowed in those foods as ingredients. These descriptions are standards of identity and composition that have to be met for a food to be legally called by the name in the standard. The foods are referred to as “standardized foods”. Examples of Standardized Foods include bread, milk, cheese, orange juice, sausage, jam, wine, beer and salt.

食品和药品法规有某些食物指定，例如组成的描述，什么是允许在这些食物成分。这些描述是鉴定和组合物，必须满足一个食品是合法的称为在标准的标准。食物被称为“标准化食品”。标准化的食品包括面包，牛奶，橙汁，香肠，奶酪，果酱，葡萄酒，啤酒和盐。

    Foods that do not have a standard of identity are referred to as “unstandardized foods”. Snack foods like potato chips, various bakery items such as rolls, donuts and cakes, yogurt, and pizza are examples of unstandardized foods.

没有一个标准的鉴别的食物被称为“非标准化食品”。零食如薯片，各种面包店项目如面包，甜点和蛋糕，酸奶，和比萨饼是非标准化食品的例子。
