This training program covers:

Food labelling under federal jurisdiction for a wide range of foods from processed goods to meat and poultry products.
Basic labelling considerations (common name, net contents, ingredient list, nutrition facts and dealer name and address)
Additional labelling considerations that may apply (storage information, durable life dates, artificial sweetener statements, vignettes, artificial flavours, country of origin, etc.).

This course provides a great foundation for the Canadian Ingredient and Nutrition Labelling courses.
