Hey all,
I received a question from a potential co-packing customer that would like to put real gold leaf in a jam. We are SQF certified (in case that makes a difference).
In the List of Permitted Food Additives, CFIA states:
"7. Gold (1)
Unstandardized alcoholic beverages; Liqueur (1) Good Manufacturing Practice (2)
Ready-to-eat cold-smoked salmon (2) Good Manufacturing Practice. To decorate the surface."
However, I see plenty of Canadian companies put gold leaf in items such as chocolate for example.
Basically my question is, if we make a jam with gold leaf in it and the gold leaf is certified food safe (of course), is this legal/allowed?
