This is a new Canadian food labelling and advertising offering starting in 2023.
This two-part virtual, instructor-led training program starts by looking at basic nutrient content & health claims considerations and requirements. Learners are introduced to basic nutrient and health related claims rules, requirements, and prohibitions. A more detailed look at the anatomy of nutrient content and health claims is featured. By the end of the program learners will be better able to understand what nutrient content and health claims would be eligible for their products and how these may and must be declared on labelling and advertising.
This program is an evolution from the Advanced Nutrition Labelling program which has successfully run for the past 15 years. The exciting difference is that this course is purely focused on nutrient content and health claims. It is more accessible to both technical and marketing professionals.
The program offers a ½ day live online knowledge exchange presentation where learners can bring their questions and share their views. A second live online ½ day is dedicated to reviewing the assigned Practicum that learners will complete on their own time. The practicum is not graded and does not need to be submitted. It is an excellent self-evaluation tool where learners can appreciate if they have grasped the subject matter.
Excluded Topics:
- Natural Health Products
- Infant Formula
- Medical Foods
- Supplemented Foods
- Front of Packaging Nutrition Symbols
At the end of the program, learners will be able to:
- Characterize and understand what nutrient content claims may be eligible.
- Characterize and understand what health claims may be eligible.
- Better appreciate the proper context of presenting nutrient content and health claims.
- Understand the expected criteria for making specific claims.
- Learn about the consequences when authorities disagree.
