Food Labelling

The CFIA sets standards for Canadian food labels so that they will be truthful and not misleading. These standards help consumers to make informed choices about the foods they eat. The following pages provide an introduction to Canada’s position on the labelling of biotechnology-derived foods. They also describe Canada’s efforts to develop a domestic labelling standard for biotechnology-derived foods and our involvement in the development of international food standards.
