Canadian Nutrition Labelling Workshop - November

Virtual Learning – 6 hours

Course Overview

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: 2.5 hours

Day 2 - No Class for Self Work

Day 3 - Training Session Part 2 - Practicum Webinar: 2.5 hours

This two-part virtual, instructor-led training program on Canadian nutrition labelling under the authority of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) covers regulatory modernizations affecting the future of nutrition labelling included:

The first part focuses on knowledge exchange, where attendees are introduced to and walked through nutrition labelling requirements and may ask questions.
The second part is a live online practicum where, as a group, we review the assignments introduced in part one (completed individually). The practicum focuses on knowledge and skills in setting up a compliant Nutrition Facts table (NFt) and includes an open Q&A session.

This program covers fundamental nutrition labelling requirements. The content is framed around the new nutrition labelling rules that are currently set to come into full force on December 14, 2021.

The training provides a better appreciation of Canadian nutrition labelling compliance considerations from principally a federal viewpoint, with focus on the Food and Drugs Act and Regulations. The discussion includes new nutrition formats, daily values, serving sizes, etc.

Nutrition labelling has a lot of moving parts that can amplify errors. Small technical errors are not uncommon. We want to avoid all errors, especially those that pose a more significant compliance concern. At the end of the program attendees should feel more comfortable and competent in how to approach nutrition labelling challenges.
