据加拿大卫生部消息，2013年10月7日加拿大卫生部开始就糖精（Saccharin）、糖精钙（Calcium Saccharin）、糖精钾（Potassium Saccharin）和糖精钠（Sodium Saccharin）作为甜味剂用于各种尚未制定标准的食品征求意见。征求意见截止2013年12月20日。
部分原文报道如下：
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.
