Zurich Citizens News, 1976-10-27, Page 23Page 24 -Citizens News, October 27, 1976 .Food dyes not banned in Canada , plan Health and Welfare Minis- ter Marc Lalonde has indicated that his department has no plans to ban certain food dyes whose use has been discontinu- ed in the United States. At the same time, the federal Health and Welfare Minister outlined details of a complete review of the Canadian policy on the listing of permitted colours in food, drug and cos- metic products undertaken earl- ier this year by the Health and Protection Branch of his depart- ment. The review resulted in a judgement that a dose -response Lancashire labor laws 1852 The following "Rules and Conditions" appeared on the office notice board of a Burnley cotton mill in 1852. 1. Godliness, cleanliness and punctuality are the necessities of a good business. 2. This firm has reduced the hours of work, and the clerical staff will now only have to be present between the hours of 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. on week- days. 3. Daily prayers will be held each morning in the main office. The clerical staff will be present. 4. Clothing must be of a sober nature. The clerical staff will not disport themselves in rain- ment of bright colours, nor will they wear hose, unless in good repair. 5. Overshoes and top -coats may not be worn in the office, but neck scarves and headwear may be worn in inclement weather. 6. A stove is provided for the benefit of the clerical staff. Coal and wood must be kept in the locker: It is recommended that each member of the clerical staff bring 4 pounds of coal each day during cold weather. 7. No member of the clerical staff may leave the room with- out permission from Mr. Rog- ers. The calls of nature are permitted and clerical staff may use the garden below the second gate. This area must be kept in good order. 8. No talking is allowed during business hours. 9. The cravings of tobacco, wines or spirits is a human weakness and, as such, is forbidden to all members of the clerical staff. 10. Now that the hours of business have been drastically zt reduced, the part -taking of food is allowed between 11:30 a.m. and noon, but work will not, on any account, cease. 11. Members of the clerical staff will provide their own pens. A new sharpener is available, on application to Mr. Rogers. 12. Mr. Rogers will nominate a senior clerk to be responsible for the cleanliness of the main office and the private office, and all boys and juniors will report to him 40 minutes before pray- ers, and will remain after dos- ing hours for similar work. Brushes, brooms, scrubbers and soap are provided by the owners. 13. The new increased weekly wages are as hereunder de- tailed: Junior boys (up to 11 years) is 4d, Boys (to 14 years) 2s ld, Juniors 4s 8d, Junior Clerks 8s 7d, Clerks 1Os 9d, Senior clerks (after 15 years with owners ) 21s, relationship in an American study, which involved only a few dogs, is inconclusive and the removal of Ponceau SX from Canadian foods, drugs and cos- metics is not warranted at this time. The dog study referred to has been known for many years to the department and the nature of the effects and the high doses required to elicit these effects do• not justify an immediate action any more than when the study was first reported. It should be noted that de - listing actions undertaken by the U.S. Food and Drug Admin- istration (FDA) need not be predicated on health hazard data since the American agency may proceed administratively to delist a provisionally approv- ed colour on the basis of insuf- ficent data to accord perman- ently approved status. As for Carbon Black, the other dye . in question, the information available to the Branch through its dngoing policy to minimize the body burden of non-essential chemi- cals suggests that there is no public health hazard requiring immediate withdrawal of this colouring agent from Canadian use. Questions relating to the quality ofCarbon Black used in Canada, to the need for its use as a color in specific products and to the ability to detect impurities at a low level will continue to be studied so that on this colouring agent can be acted on immediately, if neces- sary. In outlining details of the HPG review, Mr. Lalonde noted that one of the first steps in the process was a trade letter, issued on July 16, 1976, to all Canadian industry interested in food colours, requesting further information to identify products review where colours are employed, together with supporting data to justify present levels of use in food ..products. A trade letter elaborating this policy as it applies to drugs and cosmetics will be issued shortly to the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. On the basis of the information received and current world scientific knowl- edge concerning colouring ag- ents, a list of permitted colours_ will be developed, In the mean- time, the Branch will continue to evaluate all new data avail- able on colouring agents in foods, drugs and cosmetics.
