食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊 2018年12月19日，加拿大衛(wèi)生部提議將杏仁中的氰化物列入食品中污染物及其他摻假物質(zhì)列表。

 

　　據(jù)了解，加拿大衛(wèi)生部關(guān)于苦杏仁的現(xiàn)有食用建議為成人每天食用不超過(guò)三顆，兒童不建議食用。但大多數(shù)的消費(fèi)者不知道或不遵循這一建議，因此加拿大采取了進(jìn)一步的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)管理行動(dòng)來(lái)應(yīng)對(duì)因食用生杏仁而導(dǎo)致的急性氰化物中毒的潛在健康風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。

 

　　部分原文報(bào)道如下：

 

　　Food contaminants and other adulterating substances are chemicals that may be present in foods at levels that could impact the overall safety and/or quality of foods. These substances can either be inadvertently or naturally present in foods or in some cases intentionally added for fraudulent purposes. Establishing a prohibition or a maximum level （ML） are forms of risk management that may be employed to eliminate or reduce exposure to a particular chemical contaminant in foods. Canadian prohibitions and MLs for chemical contaminants in food are set out in Part 1 and Part 2, respectively, of the List of Contaminants and Other Adulterating Substances in Foods, which is incorporated by reference into section B.15.001 of Division 15 of the Food and Drug Regulations （the Regulations）。 Maximum levels are also set out in the List of Maximum Levels for Various Chemical Contaminants in Foods, which is maintained on Health Canada's website. All prohibitions and MLs for contaminants in food are established by Health Canada's Food Directorate based on scientific evidence and in consultation with stakeholders and are enforceable by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
