據加拿大衛生部消息，2013年10月7日加拿大衛生部開始就糖精（Saccharin）、糖精鈣（Calcium Saccharin）、糖精鉀（Potassium Saccharin）和糖精鈉（Sodium Saccharin）作為甜味劑用于各種尚未制定標準的食品征求意見。征求意見截止2013年12月20日。
部分原文報道如下：
Health Canada received a food additive submission seeking approval for the use of saccharin as a sweetener in various unstandardized foods. Saccharin and its salts, specifically calcium saccharin, potassium saccharin and sodium saccharin are permitted for sale, as saccharin sweeteners, under specific conditions prescribed in Part E of theFood and Drug Regulations. These conditions allow pharmacies to sell saccharin and its salts as sweeteners that can be used by consumers. Saccharin and its salts are currently not permitted for use as sweeteners in foods sold in Canada.
