Canada
Oct 01, 2024
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has issued proposed guidelines on how to label and represent plant-based alternatives to egg products.
According to CFIA, clear guidelines will help the industry to comply with the regulations and promote these foods on a level playing field. It will also enable consumers to make informed choices about foods that suit their dietary preferences.
This guidance only applies to plant-based alternatives to egg products. Plant-based alternatives to egg products do not meet the definition for processed egg products in the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR) or the compositional standards for egg products in the Food and Drug Regulations (FDR).
