据加拿大卫生部消息，10月3日加拿大卫生部发布通告，批准次氯酸钙作为淀粉改性剂。
加拿大卫生部称，自3月28日发布以上提案以来，未收到相关评论，而且经过风险评估也未发现问题，因此决定更新淀粉改性剂列表，批准次氯酸钙作为淀粉改性剂，自10月3日起生效。
部分原文报道如下：
Since this is a food additive that was not previously permitted for use in Canada, Health Canada published a Notice of Proposal to Enable the Use of a New Food Additive, Calcium Hypochlorite, as a Starch-Modifying Agent on March 28, 2014, requesting comments. No comments were received by the Department as a result of this publication.
As no safety concerns were raised through this assessment, the Department has enabled the food additive use described in the information document by modifying the List of Permitted Starch-Modifying Agents, effective October 03, 2014. The purpose of this communication is to publically announce the Department's decision in this regard and to provide the appropriate contact information for any inquiries or for those wishing to submit any new scientific information relevant to the safety of this food additive.
