Labeling

Get compliance right, every time

Q: What are the mandatory elements on a food label in Canada?

Canadian food labels must include product name, net quantity, ingredient and allergen list, nutrition facts table, nutrition symbol (if required), and the name and address of the responsible party. Other details like storage instructions or country of origin may also be required depending on the product.

Food labeling regulations in the U.S. and Canada are complex, but compliance doesn’t have to be. Stay ahead of labeling requirements and protect your brand with proven regulatory expertise.

Can the same packaging be used for both Canada and the United States?

In most cases, it is unfortunately not possible to use a single packaging format for both the Canadian and U.S. markets. Each country has its own regulations, and certain requirements differ — particularly with respect to standards of identity, the nutrition facts table, net quantity declaration, and country of origin labelling.
