This training course is delivered in two sessions (listed as the start & end date), with a day in between with no class for self work. The schedule is as follows:
Day 1 - Training Session Part 1 - Knowledge Exchange Webinar: 3 hours
Day 2 - No Class
Day 3 - Training Session Part 2 - Practicum Webinar: 3 hours
This two-part virtual, instructor-led training program on Canadian ingredient labelling under the authority of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) covers regulatory modernizations affecting the future of ingredient labelling:
-
The first part focuses on knowledge exchange, where attendees are introduced to and walked through ingredient labelling requirements and can ask questions.
-
The second part is a live online practicum where, as a group, we will review the assignments introduced in part one (completed individually). The practicum focuses on the knowledge and skills in setting up a compliant list of ingredients, allergen and precautionary allergen statements, and includes an open Q&A session.
This program covers fundamental ingredient labelling requirements. The content is framed around the new ingredient labelling rules that are currently set to come into full force on December 14, 2021.
The training provides a better appreciation of Canadian ingredient labelling compliance considerations from principally a federal viewpoint, with focus on the Food and Drugs Act and Regulations. The discussion includes new ingredient labelling formats, sugars-based ingredient nomenclature, allergen labelling, precautionary allergen labelling, etc.
Ingredient labelling is by far the most complex of all labelling subjects. Errors in this area have significant consequences. At the end of the program attendees should feel more comfortable and competent in how to approach ingredient labelling challenges.
This course is an ideal introduction to Canadian ingredient labelling.
