This two-part virtual, instructor-led training program provides an overview of current labelling regulations, including Health Canada’s regulatory amendments to ingredient and nutrition labelling (December 2016). This training program covers food labelling under federal jurisdiction for a wide range of foods from processed goods to meat and poultry products. It covers basic labelling considerations (common name, net contents, ingredient list, nutrition facts and dealer name and address), as well as additional labelling considerations that may apply (storage information, durable life dates, artificial sweetener statements, vignettes, artificial flavours, country of origin, etc.). This course provides a great foundation for the Canadian Ingredient and Nutrition Labelling courses.
Also covered in this course! Take a peek at CFIA’s food labelling modernization initiative on date marking, legibility of information, dealer name and address, country of origin and more! Proposed rules are expected to be finalized in 2020 or perhaps early 2021, phased in by end of 2022 and 2026.
At the end of the program, you will be able to:
- Develop a food label under the Food and Drug Regulations and the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations
- Identify foods that require a label and what exemptions may be applicable
- Discuss packaging and labelling definitions and how they relate to the presentation of information, type heights, etc.
- Better appreciate how layout options can address your design objectives
- Differentiate between retail (consumer) and non-retail (foodservice/further manufacture) labelling considerations
- Discuss common names, standard names and descriptive names
- Describe how country of origin labelling may be applicable to your food
