Canada: Canada Further Extends Labeling and Packaging Flexibility

On September 4, 2020 the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) announced temporary flexibility in enforcing some Canadian labeling and packaging regulations for pre-packaged meat products. CFIA announced this temporary flexibility, in response to industry challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, will now be extended to December 31, 2020 for both foodservice packaged products and prepackaged meat products. Label requirements associated with food safety are mandatory and businesses must continue to ensure that traceability documentation is maintained.
