Health Canada has authorised broader use of caffeine, from cola-type beverages to all carbonated soft drinks.
The Canadian government department said today (22 March) that, following research, it has found that adding synthetic caffeine to non-cola soft drinks in concentrations no higher than 150 parts per million (ppm) poses “no health risk” to consumers when they follow its recommendations for maximum daily caffeine intake.
The authorised concentration for non-cola beverages is lower than the maximum of 200 ppm authorised under the Food and Drug Regulations for cola beverages.
