Temporary labelling flexibility expires on December 31, 2020

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) would like to remind stakeholders that the extension of the temporary enforcement flexibility for non-food safety labelling requirements for foodservice packaged products and prepackaged meat products dated September 4, 2020 will end on December 31, 2020.

The CFIA's long-standing compliance and enforcement policy is to respond to non-compliance with fairness, impartiality and transparency. The Agency continues to do so with the additional considerations raised by COVID-19 and can re-instate the flexibility if circumstances warrant.
