Canada to Update Permitted Nutrient Content Statements and Claims

On November 4, 2023, Health Canada announced proposed amendments to the Nutrition labelling: Table of permitted nutrient content statements and claims, which is incorporated by reference into the Food and Drug Regulations (FDR). The below table outlines the requirements for making nutrient content statements and claims that are allowed on food products in Canada. The proposed revisions primarily focus on conditions for statements and claims related to protein content, as well as the "no added fat" claim. Stakeholders can submit comments or inquiries on this proposal by contacting bpiia-bpaii@hc-sc.gc.ca before February 2, 2024.
