Reported risk: Further to information provided in June and July 2007 , Health Canada is reminding consumers not to use foreign toothpastes that have been found to contain diethylene glycol ( DEG ). In addition, Health Canada is reminding Canadian retailers and consumers not to sell or purchase any unauthorized toothpaste products. Consumers are also reminded that fluoride-containing toothpastes that have been authorized for sale in Canada will contain either an eight-digit Drug Identification Number ( DIN ) or a Natural Product Number ( NPN ).
