Health Canada says the new labels will complement, rather than replace, the more detailed nutrition information that’s typically on the back of food packaging

In general, they’ll apply on pre-packaged foods that contain more than 15 per cent of the suggested daily value of saturated fat, sugars or sodium.

The rules are set to come into force at the beginning of 2026, which the government says gives companies ample time to manage the costs of adjusting their packaging.
