Authored by Olsson, Frank & Weeda, P.C.

canadian labeling coverThis primer summarizes the principal differences between the new Canadian requirements and existing FDA requirements on nutrition labeling of all prepackaged foods. The Canadian requirements are effective Dec. 12, 2005. While the Canadian final rule generally follows existing U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations governing nutrition labeling, nutrient content claims and health claims in the United States, there are many significant differences. Therefore, if you are currently doing business in Canada, or are planning to, this is an essential publication. (pages 100, published 2003)

Also included are:

  • USDA’s summary of the Mandatory Nutrition Labeling Regulations, with a useful question and answer section.
  • A Canadian exporter guide from USDA with tips, trends and statistics for all those either already in, or planning to enter the Canadian market.
  • Details about Canada Connect – a cost effective matchmaking program for U.S. food and beverage makers seeking brokers and/or agents in Canada.
