Health Canada will modify the “sugar-free” nutrient content claim
Canada
Jan 23, 2025
Health Canada is proposing to amend the Table of Permitted Nutrient Content Claims and Claims (sugar-free).
The updated regulations included modifications to the energy requirements of the "free of sugars" claim (item 37 of the table following section B.01.513). These changes, which were intended to make the energy requirements less restrictive, unintentionally affected chewing gums. As a result, chewing gums that were previously exempt from these requirements may no longer be in compliance with the regulations after the transition period ends on December 31, 2025.
The proposed modification will come into effect the day on which it is published in the document, Nutrition Labelling — Table of Permitted Nutrient Content Statements and Claims. Since the proposed modification does not introduce new regulatory requirements, no transition period is necessary.
