Canadian food labeling practices are still developing. Labeling itself is a very important issue as it affects both product sales for companies and the personal health of consumers, especially since most Canadian consumers learn about nutrition from food labels themselves (Nguyen) and are particularly inclined to trust labels (Gruère, Carter and Farzin). . Through the labeling law, the government is also able to impose food standards on products. In the food inspection process, a broad set of rules is used and respected to govern every possible category of food product. Food labeling itself is primarily related to health, safety, and consumer rights issues, but has recently also become involved in trade relations (which we won't talk about), as is the case with labeling laws between the United States and Canada. The practice of using misleading labels that still complies with the law has been around for some time. However, the legislation has moved forward, starting in December 2002, when nutrition labeling was implemented in the Food and Drug Regulations, which have since been amended in 2005 (HealthCanada).

Current legislation will be discussed below, followed by business practices and the organic food market. Current food and drug regulations appear quite robust. Definitions are defined for a variety of terms such as “daily value” and rules are established with very specific scopes, dividing stakeholders (consumers, manufacturers/retailers) into groups so that there is… half the paper…. ..Bottom line, all aspects of food labeling, from nutritional values ​​to words and symbols, are all regulated to help provide consumers with accurate product information.

Legislation attempts to address this problem, but food companies are still generally able to circumvent the laws. According to a government study, if implemented correctly, the benefits of nutrition labeling according to the Food and Consumer Products of Canada (FCPC), “over the next 20 years will save $5 billion in healthcare costs for the prevention of cancer, diabetes and of heart disease." ."
