The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is seeking feedback on options to change food labels and the food labelling system. Specific options, such as revising the format of best before dates, expanding food class names (i.e., “vegetable oil” or “flavor”), and changing the required contact information for food dealers are proposed in an online survey for comment. The survey will be available until June 30, 2015.
This is the second phase of consultations for the CFIA’s Food Labelling Modernization initiative. A summary report of the first consultation phase is available on the CFIA website.
For more information on the Food Labelling Modernization initiative, email the CFIA at: CFIA-Modernisation-ACIA@inspection.gc.ca.
