--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Health and Safety
To ensure a safe and nutritious food supply, all foods sold in Canada, whether domestic or imported, must meet the health and safety requirements of the Food and Drugs Act and Regulations. Enforcement is provided for in criminal law.
Section 4 of the Food and Drugs Act prohibits the sale of an article of food that:
-has in or upon it any poisonous or harmful substance;
-is unfit for human consumption;
-consists in whole or in part of any filthy, putrid, disgusting, rotten, decomposed or diseased animal or vegetable substance;
-is adulterated; or
-was manufactured, prepared, preserved, packaged, or stored under unsanitary conditions.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Labelling
All foods packaged for consumer use and imported into Canada must comply with basic food labelling requirements specified by the Food and Drugs Act and Regulations and the Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act and Regulations.
Labelling requirements include the common name of the food, a list of ingredients and components, the name and address of the responsible party, a net quantity declaration in metric and a Best Before date when required. Nutritional labelling is voluntary unless nutritional claims are made. The format and information provided must comply with the Guidelines on Nutritional Labelling developed by Health Canada and also with the Food and Drug Regulations. Agricultural and fish products for which standards exist under the Meat Inspection Act, Canadian Agricultural Products Act and associated Regulations, and the Fish Inspection Act may have additional labelling requirements (e.g. grade or country of origin).
All mandatory labelling information and nutritional labelling, other than the name and address of responsible party, is required to be declared in both French and English.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
