Whether you’re entering the market for the first time or updating existing products, we ensure your packaging meets all Canadian regulations accurately, efficiently, and without costly delays.
CONTACT USThe Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has modernized labeling rules.
These updates have rolling compliance deadlines, and non-compliance can result in product holds or fines. As our client, that’s not for you to worry about. TechLink International stays on top of these changes and related upcoming legislation to ensure your labels are always current.
Note: These recent updates are just some of the labeling requirements to consider. For example, bilingual labeling has been a longstanding requirement under Canadian law.
Mandatory Nutrition Facts Table Format Changes
The Nutrition Facts Table format has been updated to use standardized layouts and revised serving sizes to ensure clarity across all food categories.
Front-of-package Nutrition Labeling (FOPNL)
Front-of-package nutrition labeling (FOPNL) now includes new mandatory icons to quickly identify products that are high in sodium, sugars, or saturated fat.
From Review to Approval: Our Compliance Process
Achieving Canadian food labeling compliance involves several critical steps. Our structured approach streamlines compliance and reduces the risk of costly redesigns or delays at customs:
- Regulatory Review: We analyze your current packaging against CFIA requirements.
- Formula Review: We assess the product formulation to ensure all ingredients are authorized and compliant with CFIA regulations.
- Label Development: We update or redesign packaging with correct bilingual content, ingredient declarations, and nutrition data.
- Verification: We perform a final compliance check to confirm that every element aligns with CFIA standards.
- Approval Support: Our team provides assistance with pre-market review or inquiries from regulators, if required.
