  Chapter 1 - Introduction

  1.1 Reason for the Guide

  The Guide provides information on food labelling and advertising requirements as well as policies which apply to statements and claims made for foods, including alcoholic beverages. As such, it is a tool to assist industry in compliance with legislation and consumer protection. Food claims which adhere to the guidelines set out in this document are considered to comply with the provisions set out in the Food and Drugs Act (FDA) and the Food and Drug Regulations (FDR), the Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act (CPLA) and Regulations (CPLR) and other relevant legislation.

  Where it has been established that inequity or economic fraud has arisen when a segment of the food industry fails to adhere with these guidelines, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency will take steps designed to bring about national compliance.

  Note: The framework set out in this Guide to Food Labelling and Advertising (Guide) specifically applies to foods imported into, manufactured in and/or sold in Canada. The policies do not apply to foods destined solely for export unless otherwise indicated.

  1.2 Legislative Framework: Key Acts and Regulations

  In this Guide, references to the Food and Drug Regulations appear between square brackets, for example, [B.01.001]. When references to other legislation are made, the abbreviated name of the Act or Regulations will follow the reference, for example, [2, CPLR]. For the abbreviations used to represent various pieces of legislation, refer to the Glossary.

  1.2.1 The Food and Drugs Act and the Food and Drug Regulations

  Subsection 5.(1) of the Food and Drugs Act (FDA) prohibits the labelling, packaging, treating, processing, selling or advertising of any food (at all levels of trade) in a manner that is false, misleading or deceptive to consumers or is likely to create an erroneous message regarding the character, value, quantity, composition, merit or safety of the product. Subsections 3(1) and (2) prohibit health claims that might suggest that a food is a treatment, preventative or cure for specified diseases or health conditions, unless provided for in the regulations.

  A food that does not meet the requirements of the Regulations is in violation of the Act:

  An article of food that is not labelled or packaged as required by, or is labelled or packaged contrary to, the regulations shall be deemed to be labelled or packaged contrary to subsection (1) [5(2), FDA].

  The Food and Drug Regulations (FDR), as they apply to food, prescribe, among other things, the labelling of all prepackaged foods, including requirements for ingredient labelling, nutrition labelling, durable life dates, nutrient content claims, health claims and foods for special dietary use. It also sets out bilingual labelling requirements.

  1.2.2 The Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act

  The Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act (CPLA) provides for a uniform method of labelling and packaging of prepackaged consumer goods (products sold at retail)。 It contains provisions regarding prevention of fraud and provides for mandatory label information with which consumers can make informed choices. It also requires the use of metric units of measurement and bilingual labelling.

  No dealer shall apply to any prepackaged product or sell, import into Canada or advertise any prepackaged product that has applied to it a label that contains any false or misleading representation relating to or that may reasonably be regarded as relating to that product [7(1), CPLA].

  No dealer shall, in advertising any prepackaged product, make any representation as to net quantity except in accordance with this Act and the Regulations [5, CPLA].

  1.2.3 Definitions: The Food and Drugs Act and the Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act

  The following excerpts from the Food and Drugs Act (FDA) and Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act (CPLA) are important in regard to food advertising and labelling. It should be noted that the definition of a term can vary from one piece of legislation to another. Therefore, care is needed to ensure the applicable definition is used.

  "Advertise means to make any representation to the public by any means whatever, other than a label, for the purpose of promoting directly or indirectly the sale of a product…" (2, CPLA)。

  "Advertisement includes any representation by any means whatever for the purpose of promoting directly or indirectly the sale or disposal of any food…" (2, FDA)。

  "Distributor " - see "manufacturer"

  "Label includes any legend, word or mark attached to, included in, belonging to or accompanying any food…" (2, FDA)。

  "Label means any label, mark, sign, device, imprint, stamp, brand, ticket or tag…" (2, CPLA)。

  "Manufacturer" or "distributor" means a person, including an association or partnership, who under their own name, or under a trade-, design or word mark, trade name or other name, word or mark controlled by them, sells a food… (A.01.010)。

  "Prepackaged product means any product that is packaged in a container in such a manner that it is ordinarily sold to or used or purchased by a consumer without being re-packaged…" (2, CPLA)。

  "Prepackaged product means any food that is contained in a package in the manner in which it is ordinarily sold to or used or purchased by a person…" (B.01.001)

  "Sell includes offer for sale, expose for sale, have in possession for sale and distribute, whether or not the distribution is made for consideration…" (2, FDA)。

  "Sell includes:

  offer for sale, expose for sale and have in possession for sale, and

  display in such manner as to lead to a reasonable belief that the substance or product so displayed is intended for sale" (2, CPLA)。

  1.2.4 Relevant Legislation Administered by the CFIA

  Other legislation may impose requirements on the advertising and labelling of food in addition to those imposed by the Food and Drugs Act (FDA) and Food and Drug Regulations (FDR) and the Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act (CPLA) and Regulations (CPLR)。 There are many federal and provincial acts and regulations that pertain to agricultural practices and to the production, manufacture, composition, packaging, labelling, grading, marketing, storage, advertising, importation and exportation of food products. See section 1.6 of this Guide.

  At the federal level, these include:

  the Canada Agricultural Products Act (CAPA) and Regulations (CAPR)

  the Meat Inspection Act (MIA) and Regulations, 1990 (MIR, 1990)

  the Fish Inspection Act (FIA) and Regulations (FIR)

  上述立法适用于联邦注册或许可的工厂。加拿大农产品法案 (CAPA) 是一项贸易和商业法案,其法规涉及乳制品、鸡蛋、加工鸡蛋、新鲜水果和蔬菜、蜂蜜、畜禽胴体分级、枫树制品和加工产品(加工水果和蔬菜)。 )。 《鱼类检验法》和《肉类检验法》分别适用于鱼和鱼产品以及肉和肉产品,通过进出口和省际贸易。更多信息可通过 CFIA 网站获得:http : //www.inspection.gc.ca

  1.3 其他相关联邦立法

  可能还必须考虑其他联邦立法,例如:

  竞争法

  商标法

  广播法下的广播电视广播条例

  《竞争法》和《商标法》均由加拿大工业部管理。商标指南可通过加拿大知识产权局(CIPO)的网站获得。

  《广播法》下的广播电视条例由加拿大广播电视和电信委员会 (CRTC) 管理。 (有关更多信息,请参阅本指南的第 3 章。)

  在某些情况下,其他立法,例如度量衡法和法规,可能是相关的。(有关度量衡法和法规的参考,请参见本指南的第 2.6 节和第 2.15 节、净数量和集装箱标签。)

  1.3.1 广播法

  酒精饮料的广播广告受广播法下的广播和电视广播条例的约束,该条例要求遵守 1997 年 2 月 1 日修订的酒精饮料广播广告守则。商业信息不得旨在促进酒精的一般消费饮料。(参见本指南第 1.5.2 节。)

  1.4 食品标签的目的

  食品标签是最重要的标签之一 买家和卖家之间沟通产品信息的重要而直接的方式。它是消费者区分个别食品和品牌以做出明智购买选择的主要手段之一。

  标签具有三个主要功能:

  它提供了基本的产品信息(包括通用名称、成分列表、净数量、保质期、等级/质量、原产国以及制造商、经销商或 进口商);

  它提供健康、安全和营养信息。这包括安全储存和处理说明、营养信息,例如每份规定大小的食物(在营养事实表中)所含脂肪、蛋白质、碳水化合物、维生素和矿物质的数量,以及特殊饮食产品的具体信息用;

  它充当食品营销、促销和广告的载体(通过标签小插曲、促销信息和标签声明,例如低脂肪、无胆固醇、高纤维来源、加拿大产品、天然、有机、不添加防腐剂等上)。

  1.4.1 加拿大联邦食品标签责任

  制定加拿大食品标签要求的联邦责任由加拿大卫生部和加拿大食品检验局(CFIA)这两个联邦部门共同承担。

  CFIA 负责执行上述所有要求。

  1.4.2 CFIA 的食品标签信息服务

  CFIA 食品标签信息服务整合和协调自愿的联邦食品标签审查。这项服务特别针对促进新企业进入市场。(联系方式见本指南第1.6节,加拿大食品检验局食品标签信息服务)。
