2. We take a peek at certain types of claims such as light, low in sodium, trans-fat-free, etc. Learn the dos and don'ts of nutrient content claims on labels or in advertising.
3. Nutrient content claims are very prescriptive and leave little room for artistic interpretation.
4. Discuss the impact of Health Canada’s new regulations on serving sizes and reference amounts on nutrient content claims.

Goal: The goal of this webinar is for attendees to gain confidence in understanding what are considered nutrient content claims and how these may and must be declared on a label.

THIS SESSION:

1. Qualitative claims like “natural”, “no artificial flavours and colours”, “no MSG”, “no GMO”, “organic”, “preservative-free”, etc. Your knowledge gained from Sessions 1-8 will be useful here in a better understanding of their influence on other parts of labelling like nutrition and ingredient labelling.
2. Method of production claims will be covered, such as “not raised with the use of antibiotics”. How these claims are to be substantiated will be discussed.
3. Learn how CFIA views these claims and how CFIA’s Food Labelling for Industry is used to interpret and govern them.
4. CFIA’s food labelling modernization is looking at possibly introducing quantitative ingredient labelling when ingredients are highlighted. Modernization is also looking at when flavours are highlighted and how these may need to be supported with additional statements. CFIA is also looking at placing more responsibility on the industry in managing how low-risk claims are qualified and how new information technology might be used to help support such claims.

Goal: It is easy to mispresent food, even with factual statements. Claims are context-sensitive and may require additional context for clarity. At the end of the webinar attendees will be exposed to greater insight into avoiding the misrepresenting their foods when such claims are used.
