Fair Labelling Practices Program Nutrition Labelling, Nutrition Claims and Health Claims
On January 1, 2003, Health Canada's amendments to the Food and Drug Regulations for
nutrition labelling, nutrition claims and diet-related health claims were published in the
Canada Gazette, Part II. Manufacturers have until December 12, 2005 (or for
small manufacturers until December 12, 2007) to comply with the new regulations, with some
exceptions.
Please note that as of June 1, 2004, the CFIA is answering all questions related to the
new nutrition labelling regulations, including those related to interpretation,
application, enforcement and compliance. Health Canada is no longer replying to these
questions. Please contact your local CFIA office
regarding nutrition labelling, nutrition claims and diet-related health claims.
