Health Canada's Food Directorate completed a detailed safety assessment of the use of powdered cellulose as a bulking agent in dry mixes for sweet baked goods.
Cellulose, powdered is already permitted for use in Canada as a bulking agent in various foods, including sweet baked goods.
As no safety concerns were raised through this assessment, the Department has enabled the food additive use described in the information document by the List of Permitted Food Additives with Other Generally Accepted Uses, effective August 1, 2014.
