Canada: modification to steviol glycosides specification

Health Canada received a food additive submission seeking approval for the expansion of the steviol glycoside definition of this sweetener - to include all the steviol glycosides in the Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni plant.

As no safety concerns were identified, Health Canada has approved this application and updated the List of Permitted Sweeteners.
