据加拿大卫生部消息，近日加拿大卫生部发布通报，批准四种磷酸盐用于食品。已于4月14日正式生效。
这四种磷酸盐为磷酸三钾（Tripotassium Phosphate）、三聚磷酸钾（Potassium Tripolyphosphate）、三聚磷酸钾钠（Sodium Potassium Tripolyphosphate）、六偏磷酸钾钠（Sodium Potassium Hexametaphosphate）多种食品添加剂用于食品。
经过相应评估，加拿大卫生部认为四种磷酸盐用于食品是安全的。
部分原文报道如下：
Health Canada received five food additive submissions that together sought approval for the use of tripotassium phosphate （potassium phosphate, tribasic）， potassium tripolyphosphate, sodium potassium tripolyphosphate and sodium potassium hexametaphosphate in those foods where trisodium phosphate （referred to in the Lists of Permitted Food Additives as sodium phosphate, tribasic）， sodium tripolyphosphate and sodium hexametaphosphate are already permitted. The requested levels and conditions of use of these potassium and sodium potassium phosphates are the same as for the already permitted sodium analogues.
