Significant New Activity Notice No. 10 280
Significant New Activity Notice (Section 85 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999)
Whereas the Ministers of Health and of the Environment have assessed information in respect of the substance Amines, tallow alkyl, ethoxylated, 2-ethylhexanoates, CAS Registry Number 72245-02-4,
Whereas the substance is not on the Domestic Substances List,
And whereas the Ministers suspect that a significant new activity in relation to the substance, other than its use as a surfactant component of industrial fire fighting formulations excluding outdoor wildfires, may result in the substance becoming toxic,
Now therefore the Minister of the Environment considers it appropriate to indicate that subsection 81(4) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 applies with respect to the substance.
And therefore the Minister requires that any person proposing to use the substance in a significant new activity other than as a surfactant component of industrial fire-fighting formulations, excluding outdoor wildfires, shall provide the Minister, at least 90 days prior to the beginning of the proposed new activity, with the following information:
(1) Proposed new activity in relation to the substance;
(2) Submission of all information prescribed by Schedule I of the New Substances Notification Regulations (NSN Regulations);
(3) Submission of items 3(1) to 3(4) prescribed by Schedule II of the NSN Regulations;
(4) Percentage of the substance contained in the final product.
The above information will be assessed within 90 days of its being provided to the Minister.

CARTAGENA PROTOCOL ON BIOSAFETY
Notice of Canada's Signature and Government Position Regarding Implementation of the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety
The Government of Canada hereby gives notice that Canada will become a signatory to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety. Canada was one of the first countries to ratify the Convention on Biological Diversity and has been an active and committed participant in the negotiations of a protocol on biosafety, from the beginning. Canada has remained dedicated to achieving the environmental objectives of the Protocol and Canada's signature symbolizes our further pledge to proceed towards consideration of ratification and implementation. Once it enters into force, the Protocol will become the newest addition to the international environmental regulatory framework.
For some time now, Canada has been home to developers, producers, importers and exporters of living modified organisms (LMOs). This gives Canada extensive, practical experience in many of the issues that Parties to the Protocol will need to address in the implementation and elaboration of outstanding issues under the Protocol. Canada has had in place a sophisticated, science-based regulatory system for LMOs since the late 1980s, and has to date assessed and approved the safe release of over 100 LMOs into its environment. Even with this system in place, Canada believes, as an exporter and an importer, that the Protocol can be a useful addition to its domestic regulatory framework, and to the international science-based regulatory framework.
Since the conclusion of negotiations in Montréal in January 2000, the Government of Canada has been engaged in intensive consultations with the Provinces and Territories and Canadians including environmental groups, exporters, producers and importers. These consultations confirmed that, while Canadian stakeholders support the objectives of the Protocol, the achievement of these objectives will require the careful implementation and further elaboration of key provisions.
With respect to the relationship between the Protocol and international trade rules, in Canada's view, the Protocol can and should be implemented in a manner that is consistent with countries' rights and obligations under such multilateral agreements. Canada and other countries retain their full rights and obligations. Should the need arise, Canada would seek prompt action under the relevant multilateral agreement.
Canada believes the reference to impacts on human health contained in the Protocol to be an appropriate extension of the concept expressed in the Convention regarding impacts on human health as those resulting from adverse impacts on biodiversity. There are other international bodies and agreements which already deal with broader health issues, including food safety.
There are a number of important articles in the Protocol for which the details remain to be specified. The documentation-related provisions are central to the effective implementation of the agreement and to the achievement of its environmental objectives. If designed and/or implemented inappropriately, it could both undermine the environmental effectiveness of the Protocol and unnecessarily disrupt trade in LMOs, as well as trade in products outside of the scope of the Protocol. Such an outcome could render the Protocol unworkable and thus weaken countries' commitment to it. Given the importance and complexity of this issue, Canada will be co-hosting a Meeting of Technical Experts under the auspices of the Intergovernmental Committee on the Cartagena Protocol (ICCP). Canada intends to continue showing this type of leadership in order to advance the necessary multilateral discussion in this area.
There are a number of equally important issues, such as liability, compliance, capacity building, decision making for Advance Informed Agreement, and information sharing via the Biosafety Clearing House, that raise very important issues to Canada and that the Government looks forward to contributing to in ongoing discussions.
Finally, as a signatory, Canada believes that countries should cooperate to ensure that all Parties can implement the Protocol and recognizes the high priority assigned to capacity building in the Protocol.
Canada is very pleased to be a signatory to the Cartagena Protocol and is committed to working with other countries through the ICCP and other committees on the issues that still need to be resolved and refined. Canada's principal objective remains to develop a practical and effective agreement that will achieve its environmental objectives.

FOOD AND DRUGS ACT
Food and Drug Regulations — Amendments
Interim Marketing Authorization
There is no provision in the Food and Drug Regulations to permit the addition of vitamins or mineral nutrients to vegetable based or vegetable and milk protein based products, which resemble cheese, so that these products may contain the important nutrients provided by cheese. Health Canada has received a request to permit the addition of vitamins and mineral nutrients to vegetable based or vegetable and milk protein based products, which resemble cheese, so that these products may contain the important nutrients provided by cheese for those individuals who do not consume cheese for health or other reasons.
Health Canada has completed a safety assessment of the proposal to permit the addition of vitamins and mineral nutrients to vegetable based or vegetable and milk protein based products. Addition of vitamins and mineral nutrients to these products is consistent with the General Principles for the Addition of Essential Nutrients to Food published in the Codex Alimentarius, under the Joint FAO/WHO Food Standards Programme. In the 1970's, similar principles were used as the basis for the development of Regulations under the Food and Drugs Act governing the nutritional quality of simulated meat and poultry products, simulated whole egg products and substitutes for fruit juices. In November 1997, a Notice of Interim Marketing Authorization was published to allow for the sale of plant-based beverages as nutritionally adequate alternatives to milk.
The proposed amendment is in the interest of public health because it increases the choice and availability of products with the key ingredients provided by cheese for those individuals who choose not to consume cheese for health or other reasons.
Over the years, some stakeholders have expressed concerns regarding the labelling and representation of this type of products. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has determined that the advertising and labelling of these fortified products are adequately addressed by the related provisions of the Food and Drugs Act and the Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act and the respective regulations. These provisions prohibit a person from labelling, packaging, treating, processing, selling or advertising a food in a manner that is false, misleading or deceptive or is likely to create an erroneous impression. Furthermore, where a standard for a food has been prescribed, these Acts and Regulations prohibit a person from labelling, packaging, selling or advertising a food in such a manner that it is likely to be mistaken for that standardized food unless it complies with the prescribed standard. These Act and Regulations also prohibit the use of a common name of a standardized food to describe any food unless that food meets the provisions set out in the standard.
The Food and Drug Regulations require that a complete list of ingredients and components be declared on the label of almost all prepackaged foods. Accurate and complete ingredient labelling of such foods containing milk protein will assist consumers with sensitivities to milk protein to make safe choices from a wide variety of foods in the marketplace.
Health Canada intends to recommend that the Food and Drug Regulations be amended to provide that:
(1) Notwithstanding Sections D.01.009, D.01.011 and D.02.009, no person shall sell a vegetable based or vegetable and milk protein based product which is similar to a cheese in appearance, texture, flavour, or odour, to which a vitamin or mineral nutrient has been added, unless the product, when ready-to-serve,
(a) contains not less than 25 g of protein per 100 g in the
case of products intended to have a nutritional value comparable to
ripened (mature) cheese, or not less than 15 g of protein per 100 g
in the case of products intended to have a nutritional value comparable
to fresh cheese,
(b) has not more than 50 percent of its fat as saturated fat,
not more than 10 percent of its fat as trans-fatty acids and not less
than 2.5 percent of its fat as linoleic acid and not less than 1.5 percent
of its fat as linolenic acid,
(c) contains not more than 600 mg of sodium per 100 g, and
(d) has a protein rating of not less than 62 in the case of
products intended to have a nutritional value comparable to ripened
(mature) cheese or not less than 37 in the case of products intended
to have a nutritional value comparable to fresh cheese, as determined
by official method FO-1, Determination of Protein Rating, October 15,
1981.
(2) Subject to subsections (3) and (4), the vitamins and mineral nutrients listed in column I of the Table to this section may be added to a product meeting the requirements of subsection (1) provided that the product contains the added vitamins or mineral nutrients in the amounts set out in column II of the Table.
(3) The amount of a vitamin or mineral nutrient that is not an added ingredient in the product may exceed the amount listed in column II of the Table to this section.
(4) The amount of a vitamin or mineral nutrient listed in column II of the Table to this section does not include overages.
(5) The common name of products that meet the requirements in subsection (1) will be "fortified (naming the proteins/naming the oil) [naming the form]" (e.g., fortified casein/soy oil loaf, fortified soy protein/casein/soy oil slices).
(6) The label shall carry the following information, expressed in the following units per serving of stated quantity:
(a) the energy value of the product, expressed in calories
(Calories or Cal) and kilojoules (kilojoules or kJ),
(b) the protein, fat, linoleic acid and carbohydrate contents
expressed in grams,
(c) the polyunsaturated, monounsaturated, saturated, and trans-fatty
acid totals expressed in grams,
(d) the contents of the vitamins and mineral nutrients listed
in the Table to this section, expressed as a percentage of the recommended
daily intakes specified in column II of Table I to Division 1 and in
column II of Table I to Division 2 of Part D of these Regulations for
those vitamin and mineral nutrients, and
(e) the content of sodium and potassium expressed in milligrams.
TABLE
Item |
Column I VITAMIN OR MINERAL NUTRIENT |
Column II AMOUNT per g. protein |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Vitamin A | 10 RE |
| 2. | Vitamin B12 | 0.06 µg |
| 3. | Riboflavin | 20 µg |
| 4. | Niacin | 0.22 NE |
| 5. | Calcium | 30 mg |
| 6. | Phosphorus | 20 mg |
| 7. | Magnesium | 1 mg |
| 8. | Zinc | 0.15 mg |
Therefore, it is the intention of Health Canada to recommend that the Food and Drug Regulations be amended to permit the addition of vitamins and mineral nutrients to vegetable based or vegetable and milk protein based products, which resemble cheese, at levels which are consistent with Codex General Principles for the Addition of Essential Nutrients to Foods as indicated above.
As a means to improve the responsiveness of the regulatory system while enhancing the nutritional well-being of consumers, an Interim Marketing Authorization (IMA) is being issued to permit the immediate sale of fortified vegetable based or vegetable and milk protein based products, which resemble cheese, so that these products may contain the important nutrients provided by cheese, while the regulatory process is undertaken to formally amend the Regulations.
