The Canadian Packaging and Labelling Regulations require that all mandatory information must be shown in English and French (both official languages of Canada):

​

• Common Name

• Ingredients and Allergens

• Nutrition Facts

• Country of Origin (if required)

• Durable Life Date (if required)

• Food Additives, Fortifications and Grades (if required)

 

Additionally, any voluntary claims or statements that are subject to regulation, like nutrient content or health claims, are also required to appear in English and French.

 

Provincial regulation in Quebec require that all information on a food label be presented in French. Most national retailer in Canada require that food labels in their stores are consistent with the Quebec standard.

 

Furthermore it is expected that the French language that is used be consistent with the Quebec-based terminology and usage as it appears in Le grand dictionnaire terminologique.
