Canada
Jul 28, 2023
The Minister of Health has published a Notice to inform of its intention to permit the vitamin D fortification of yogurt and kefir that are made from dairy products and expand the eligibility for the dairy-related exemption from the front-of-package (FOP) nutrition labelling requirement by implementing a lower calcium threshold. The types of foods eligible for the exemption remain the same as those currently set out in the Food and Drug Regulations (FDR) (i.e., prepackaged products that are cheese or yogurt – including drinkable yogurt – that are made from dairy products, kefir or buttermilk).
Comments on the Minister of Health's proposals to permit vitamin D fortification of yogurt and kefir and to implement a lower calcium threshold for the dairy-related exemption from the FOP nutrition labelling requirement can be provided until August 28, 2023.
