Consumer Centre
Consumers have a key role to play in keeping food safe. To help them in this role, the CFIA
informs Canadians about safe food-handling practices and various food-safety risks through
its website, food safety fact sheets, and the Canadian
Partnership for Consumer Food Safety Education (www.canfightbac.org). |

Labelling and Nutrition |
| Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) share
responsibility for federal food labelling policies in Canada under the Food and Drugs Act.
While Health Canada is responsible for setting food labelling policies with respect to
health and safety matters, the CFIA is responsible for the development of
non-health-and-safety food labelling regulations and policies. |
 |
|
| By enforcing Canada’s fair packaging and labelling laws, the CFIA
verifies that the information provided to consumers is truthful and not misleading,
enabling them to make healthy food choices. |
