New Front-of-Pack Nutrition Labeling in Canada Explained

Starting January 1, 2026, Canada mandates front-of-pack nutrition labeling on prepacked foods high in saturated fats, sugars, and sodium.

While this could benefit farmers in the short term, it risks food safety, environmental protections, and international competitiveness. The political landscape might favor innovation but risks long-term sustainability challenges.
