據加拿大衛生部消息，加拿大批準熒光假單胞菌 DC88 產α-淀粉酶作為食品酶制劑用于生產糊精、麥芽糖、葡萄糖、葡萄糖（葡萄糖糖漿）及葡萄糖固體（干葡萄糖漿）。
經過評估，加拿大衛生部認為該種α-淀粉酶用于以上產品安全。新條例自1月4日起生效。
部分原文報道如下：
Health Canada's Food Directorate completed a detailed safety assessment of a food additive submission seeking approval for the use of alpha-amylase obtained from Pseudomonas fluorescens DC88 as a food enzyme in distillers' mash and in starch used in the production of dextrins, maltose, dextrose, glucose （glucose syrup） or glucose solids （dried glucose syrup）。
Amylase from other sources is already permitted for use in Canada as a food enzyme used in distillers' mash and in starch used in the production of dextrins, maltose, dextrose, glucose （glucose syrup） or glucose solids （dried glucose syrup）。
