Health Canada Front-of-Package (FOP) Labelling

Achieve compliance and protect your brand before the 2026 deadline.

Health Canada’s Front-of-Package (FOP) nutrition labelling regulations require prepackaged foods high in sodium, sugars, and saturated fat to display a clear nutrition symbol on the front of their packaging. This mandate helps consumers make informed decisions and ensures transparency in food labelling. Non-compliance can lead to costly recalls, fines, and damage to your brand’s reputation. 

With the January 1, 2026 deadline approaching, Quality Smart Solutions provides businesses with a streamlined, stress-free path to compliance. Our expert regulatory team ensures your packaging meets Health Canada’s requirements quickly, efficiently, and without disruption to your business operations.

What the Front-of-Package Nutrition Symbol Looks Like

The Front-of-Package (FOP) nutrition symbol is a standardized black and white graphic designed to highlight foods that are high in saturated fat, sugars, sodium, or any combination of these. It includes: 

A magnifying glass icon to draw attention to key nutritional information.
Clear text specifying what the food is high in (e.g., 'High in Sodium').
The words "Health Canada / Santé Canada" appearing at the bottom of the symbol for authenticity and credibility.
