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.
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.
