Implementation of the 2016 Nutrition Labelling Regulatory Amendments
Canada
Mar 04, 2021
As part of Health Canada's Healthy Eating Strategy, amendments to the Food and Drug Regulations (FDR) related to nutrition labelling were announced on December 14, 2016. A 5 year transition period, ending on December 14, 2021, was originally provided to give industry time to make the necessary changes to their labels and to use up existing labels to comply with the requirements.
Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) are providing enforcement flexibility to support industry in meeting the labelling requirements described in the FDR amendments.
While the end of the transition period for the amendments will remain December 14, 2021, the CFIA will focus its efforts on education and compliance promotion for the first year (until December 14, 2022). After December 14, 2022, the CFIA will verify compliance and apply enforcement discretion in cases of non-compliance where regulated parties have a detailed plan that shows how they intend to meet the new requirements at the earliest possible time, and no later than December 14, 2023.
