Draft for Canada Gazette Part I Consultation

Introduction

On February 10, 2018 Health Canada pre-published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, the Regulations Amending the Food and Drug Regulations (Nutrition Symbols, Other Labelling Provisions, Partially Hydrogenated Oils and Vitamin D). The proposed regulations would amend the Food and Drugs Regulations to add a new front-of-package (FOP) labelling requirement for prepackaged products deemed to be high in sodium, saturated fats and/or sugars. The objective of FOP labelling is to enable Canadians to more easily identify foods high in these nutrients and make healthier and more informed decisions.

The proposed Directory of Nutrition Symbol Formats will set out formatting specifications of the variations of the nutrition symbol such as the dimension requirements. The regulatory package pre-published on February 10, 2018 proposes that this document be incorporated by reference into the Food and Drug Regulations. The final nutrition symbol will be inserted directly in the Food and Drug Regulations upon publication in Canada Gazette, Part II, while the Directory will remain incorporated by reference for the purpose of the symbol's dimensions.

Please note that the size of displayed images in the HTML version of this document is not to scale.

To submit your comments on the proposed regulations pre-published in Canada Gazette, Part I or on this Directory of Nutrition Symbol Formats, please send them to:

There is a white rectangular box outlined by a thin black rule. Within this rectangle there is another white rectangle bordered by a dashed thin black line. There is a small amount of white space between the dashed line and the top, left and right borders of the outer rectangle. Within the inner rectangle with the dashed-line border there is a large x in very bold, light grey font that extends almost to all four corners of the rectangle. Overtop this large x, centred in the inner rectangle, are three lines of text in bold, black, mixed case letters. On the first line are the words High in sat fat comma sugars comma. On the second line are the words and sodium. On the third line there is a dash followed by the words design to be determined. Below the inner rectangle with the dashed border is one line of text that is centred right above the border of the outer white rectangle. In black mixed-case font are the words Health Canada.

There is a white rectangular box outlined by a thin black rule. Within this rectangle there is another white rectangle bordered by a dashed thin black line. There is a small amount of white space between the dashed line and the top, left and right borders of the outer rectangle. Within the inner rectangle with the dashed-line border there is a large x in very bold, light grey font that extends almost to all four corners of the rectangle. Overtop this large x, centred in the inner rectangle, are four lines of text in bold, black, mixed case letters. On the first line are the words High in sat fat and sugars. Centered below this line is a dash followed by the words design to be determined. There is a slightly larger space between the second and third lines. On the third line are the words Élevé en gras sat et sucres. On the last line there is a dash followed by the words schéma d'ensemble a déterminer. Below the inner rectangle with the dashed border is one line of text that is centred right above the border of the outer white rectangle. In black mixed-case font are the words Health Canada forward slash Santé Canada.
