英文标题：Proposal to transfer the maximum levels for ethyl carbamate in alcoholic beverages to the List of Contaminants and Other Adulterating Substances in Foods

覆盖产品：Ethyl carbamate (ICS code: 67.160.10)

内容概述：Health Canada is proposing to transfer the maximum levels for ethyl carbamate in alcoholic beverages from the administrative List of Maximum Levels for Various Chemical Contaminants in Foods, to Part 2 of the regulatory List of Contaminants and Other Adulterating Substances in Foods, maintaining the current value of the maximum levels but amending some of the product categories to better reflect the diverse market of alcoholic beverages. The Food and Nutrition Directorate's evaluation on the risk management commitments for ethyl carbamate (https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/food-nutrition/food-safety/chemical-contaminants/food-processing-induced-chemicals/ethyl-carbamate/risk-management.html) published in May 2022 confirmed that the maximum levels for ethyl carbamate in alcoholic beverages currently included on the List of Maximum Levels for Various Chemical Contaminants continue to be health protective. The results of a detailed achievability analysis also found that for the large majority of the targeted alcoholic beverages, ethyl carbamate concentrations are able to meet (i.e., are below) their applicable maximum level. The purpose of the notice is to publicly announce Health Canada's intentions in this regard and provide the appropriate contact information for those wishing to submit comments on the proposal.
