Interesting Readings
Dr. Eunice Li-Chan wanted to share the following with the class:
From listening to a few of the comments and questions raised today, some students might be interested to check out the link on the Health Canada website to the pdf file of the “Food Additive Dictionary” – http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/fn-an/securit/addit/diction/index-eng.php
Other useful websites are the CFIA website regarding labelling and advertising at http://www.inspection.gc.ca/english/fssa/labeti/labetie.shtml
and the Justice Canada website that includes among a lot of other regulations, the information about fortification with vitamins and minerals –http://laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/c.r.c.-c.870/index.html go to “Part D Vitamins Minerals and Amino Acids”
I thought this was an interesting article, particularly in light of your debate tomorrow: http://www.jstor.org/stable/4191966
let me know if the link doesn’t work!
