Importance of Canada Food Labelling Regulations

In Canada, the CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) controls food packaging and labelling. Failing to comply results in harsh fines. Your products may be forbidden from sale. We ensure your products meet Health Canada regulations.

  • Food & Beverage Compliance

    Health Canada's Food Directorate is responsible for safety and nutritional information.

  • Nutrition Facts Tables

    Necessary to provide nutritional info such as calories, serving quantity, and % Daily Value.

  • Nutrition Labelling

    Origin country, units of measurement, bilingual text, and allergen declarations are required.

What is a HACCP Plan?

Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) is a procedure created to ensure food safety. Seven principles make up a HACCP strategy:

  • Hazard Evaluation
  • Critical Control Point (CCP) Identification
  • Establishing Critical Limits
  • Monitoring Procedures
  • Corrective Measures
  • Verification Procedures
  • Record-keeping and Documentation

Preventive Control Plan PCP Canada
What is a Preventive Control Plan (PCP)?

A PCP places more emphasis on written documentation and traceability. A PCP, in accordance with CFIA, enables you to:

  • Identify biological, chemical, and physical risks.
  • Record plans for eliminating hazards.
  • Provide details used to create your goal.
  • Prove via documents that you've carried out your objective.

The Safe Food For Canadians Regulations (SFCR) require the use of preventive controls.
