Canada: Canada Clarifies Timelines for Anticipated Labeling Changes

Canadian nutrition labeling changes published in 2016 will officially enter into force on December 14, 2021. However, regulators will focus on education and promoting compliance through December 2022, and then exercise limited enforcement discretion through December 2023. Canada has proposed aligning with U.S. labeling compliance intervals, starting in 2026, to establish a more predictable cycle for future changes; comments on the proposal will be accepted until April 3, 2021. Additional food labeling changes are expected to be announced by the end of 2021.
