Health Canada moves forward with prohibiting the use of Partially Hydrogenated Oils in foods

Health Canada has published the Notice of Modification: Prohibiting the Use of Partially Hydrogenated Oils (PHOs) in Foods (Ref. No. NOM/ADM-C-2017-3) confirming its decision to proceed with prohibiting the use of PHOs by means of an amendment to Part 1 of the List of Contaminants and Other Adulterating Substances in Foods (the List). The prohibition will take effect the day on which PHOs are added to the List, which Health Canada will be amending 12 months from the date of publication of the Notice of Modification. This one-year transition period will provide manufacturers time to reformulate their products
