Is Health Canada planning on working with the US to harmonize the Nutrition Facts table?
Increasing the compatibility of these Regulations with those of the US, to the greatest extent possible, continues to be a clear objective of Health Canada. However, emerging science, health concerns and differences in diet (e.g., content of trans fat in the Canadian diet) continue to limit the extent of harmonization, as do Canadian bilingual requirements and some differences between the units of measurement used in both countries.
