When addressing and resolving advertising incidents, our first priority is to protect the health and safety of people in Canada. We take appropriate actions to address incidents where we find non-compliance.

Our compliance and enforcement approach

All advertising complaints that are received by Health Canada are triaged and prioritised according to the risk to health they may pose to the general public. In other words, higher risk complaints are given priority.

When we identify and confirm non-compliance, we take the most appropriate level of intervention based on the risk posed to the general public. For example, we send a letter to the regulated party promptly for high-risk cases, outlining the corrective measures the party must take. Most often, the party complies once they receive this letter or after we follow up.

We may take stronger action if an advertising remain non-compliant. For example, we may:

It is prohibited to sell and advertise unauthorized health products in Canada. In these cases, we will take the necessary compliance and enforcement actions to protect the health and safety of people in Canada.
