Order Repealing Certain Marketing Authorizations
Health Canada repealed 16 marketing authorizations under the Food and Drugs Act, deemed redundant following updates to the Regulations. These authorizations covered categories such as preservatives and sweeteners. The repeal aligns with recent regulatory amendments that modernize the food additive framework. The order does not impose new requirements or alter the administrative burden on businesses, as existing regulations now address the authorizations' provisions.
