Health Canada Delays Allergy Labelling
Posted on June 2nd, 2009 No comments
Want to advertise with us? marc @ eatnutfree.comAs we reported on in July 2008, Health Canada has proposed new labelling laws. We expected them to be in place by now; but it seems that because they want to make the regulations perfect, it has been delayed until 2010. As reported by Allergic Living, Health Canada received over 140 comments on the new regulation.
The hard part is over; now they just need to put the rules in place. Come Spring 2010, companies will have 12 months to update packaging to adhere to the new regulations.We’re almost there. It’s been a long time coming.
