The Group Export invites you to learn more about Health Canada’s new regulations regarding the front-of-package nutrition symbol. This new symbol will be required for most products high in saturated fats, sugars, and sodium. Many products will be affected by this new symbol, with a deadline for displaying the symbol, if required, of January 1, 2026. Therefore, it’s time to become familiar with it.

 

** Are you interested in sending us an example of packaging for the case studies presented in the training course? Submit a PDF of your product’s packaging by August 19 to reglementation@groupexport.ca, and we will select the packages according to the training needs. **
