Health Canada's most recent assessment of morpholine

Health Canada does alternate re-evaluations of chemicals used in aliment processing applications. This allows for application of any new accurate evidence. Health Canada has afresh completed its re-evaluation of morpholine for use in apple-wax coatings. The analysis included a abundant appraisal of:

1.the toxicity of morpholine as able-bodied as a baneful acknowledgment artefact called N-nitrosomorpholine;

2.the abeyant acknowledgment to these substances consistent from the use of morpholine in such coatings; and

3.any abeyant risks to consumers of the fruit.
