canned fruit, including canned apples, grapefruit, mandarin oranges, peaches, pears and pineapple, and in unstandardized canned fruit, including canned fruit cocktail and tropical 
salad, at a maximum level of use for acesulf ame-potassium and sucralose of 0.007% and 
0.025%, respectively, (notified as G/SPS/N/CAN/302);  and 
− - 13 June 2009, for sucralose as a sweetener in  pickles at a maximum level of use of 0.015%
