Dell Tech assists companies with food product compliance in Canada, including formulation and label review, ingredient assessment, and regulatory submissions to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and Health Canada, ensuring your food products meet all applicable safety and labeling requirements.
Our regulatory experts assess every ingredient and concentration in your formula to identify any that are restricted, not permitted, or classified as novel under Canadian law. We check compliance with the Food and Drug Regulations (FDR), Supplemented Foods regulations, and the Lists of Permitted Food Additives.
We’ve supported hundreds of food companies across Canada and internationally with reliable, accurate, and strategic guidance.
From traditional grocery products to new food formats like sachets, gummies, and functional foods, we understand the evolving regulatory landscape.
We help make your product shelf-ready with compliant, bilingual labels and full documentation for CFIA and Health Canada.
We explain all available regulatory paths and provide insight into the cost, timeline, and market claims available under each.
We determine the proper classification of your product as a conventional food, supplemented food, meal replacement, formulated liquid diet, or other category. In cases where more than one regulatory pathway may apply, we outline your available options — including cost, timelines, allowable claims, and labeling requirements — so you can make informed decisions.
Not usually. Conventional foods typically do not require registration, but certain products — such as supplemented or novel foods — may require pre-market notification or approval.
No. Canada has specific bilingual formatting requirements for Nutrition Facts Tables, ingredient listings, and allergen declarations. We reformat your content to ensure compliance.
These are products with added vitamins, minerals, amino acids, or functional ingredients not typically found in conventional foods. They require specific cautionary statements and the use of a Supplemented Food Facts Table.
If your product includes a novel food or ingredient, Health Canada must review and approve it before sale. Dell Tech prepares and submits the required scientific and regulatory data.
The distinction can be complex and based on both function and claims. We assess your formula and marketing to recommend the most appropriate regulatory route and help you navigate it.
After classification and formula review, we help you complete any required submissions, labeling changes, and documentation so you can go to market confidently and compliantly.
