Health Canada recently concluded a public consultation on proposed front-of-package (FOP) labeling designs and identified how forthcoming regulations could limit marketing of foods with FOP labels. Final FOP and proposed marketing to children regulations are expected to be announced later in 2018. Industry stakeholders are concerned that these regulations could negatively impact sales of packaged food products in Canada. Canada was the number one U.S. export market for high-value, consumer oriented goods in 2017, valued at more than $16 billion.
