The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) launched a public consultation on proposed changes to labelling requirements in the Food and Drug Regulations and the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations.
The proposals include several changes to provide clearer information on food labels; including where imported food comes from, what the food contains, and how long the quality of the food will last.
CFIA is also seeking specific feedback on how to indicate the origin labelling for imported products, including views on acceptable statements for origin labelling of imported foods.
The consultation is open from June 22, 2019 to September 4, 2019.
