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.
Understanding whether your product falls under the FOP labelling requirements is the first step. Our team reviews your Nutrition Facts tables and ingredient lists to determine if your product exceeds the thresholds for sodium, sugars, or saturated fat. If an FOP nutrition symbol is required, we provide a clear roadmap to compliance.
We conduct a meticulous review of your FOP nutrition symbols, verifying that they adhere to size, contrast, and placement requirements. By identifying potential compliance issues early, we help you avoid costly redesigns and prevent regulatory setbacks.
If your product is manufactured outside Canada, it must be imported by a licensed importer under the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR). We ensure your importer holds a valid Safe Food for Canadians (SFC) licence to prevent customs delays and compliance issues. Our team also verifies that your packaging meets Health Canada’s FOP labelling requirements before it enters the Canadian market.
We offer ongoing compliance monitoring, periodic audits, and training to keep your internal teams informed. With our proactive approach, you can confidently maintain compliance, avoid fines, and keep your products on store shelves.
