Industry Labelling Tool updated to reflect front-of-package labelling amendments
On July 20, 2022, Health Canada published amendments to the Food and Drug Regulations related to front-of package (FOP) labelling in Canada Gazette Part II:
At the time, Health Canada also published the front-of-package nutrition symbol labelling guide for industry, so that stakeholders would have over three years in order to make any required changes.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has updated the Industry Labelling Tool, to reflect changes to other components of the FOP regulatory package, such as the provisions for high intensity sweetener and the addition of vitamin D to foods. This fulfills a CFIA commitment under Phase I of the multi-year implementation plan for these amendments. These labelling changes will contribute to Health Canada and CFIA’s continued efforts to help Canadians make more informed choices about the foods they purchase.
