Canada: Safe Food for Canadians Regulations Update Lot Codes for Prepackaged Fruits and Vegetables

The requirement to include a lot code on prepackaged fresh fruits and vegetables is among several Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR) requirements that will enter into force on January 15, 2020. However, Canada will allow industry to use existing packaging materials until January 15, 2021, providing a one year extension on enforcement.
