Who is the focus of this consultation
We are engaging with:
- consumers and patients
- industry and professional associations
- health care professionals
- industry stakeholders who handle natural health products
- such as manufacturers, packagers, labellers, importers and testers/testing laboratories
The draft revised guide gives additional guidance to reflect current science while offering flexibility where it makes sense. It also:
- is clearer and easier to use
- follows Government of Canada requirements for clear language, accessibility and format
We will review the feedback we receive and make further changes as appropriate. Our goal is to publish a final version of the updated guide later this year. An appropriate transition period and implementation will follow the publication.
