Fair Labelling Practices Program

The Fair Labelling Practices Program administers and enforces the non-health and safety food components of the Food and Drugs Act and the Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act. Activities include: investigating consumer and industry complaints; developing programs designed to encourage compliance with the provisions of the respective Acts; and developing overall consumer protection policies for the CFIA.
