Were Canadians given an opportunity to comment on the labelling standard?
The first draft of the voluntary labelling standard was made available for public comment during a 60-day review period from August 17 to October 17, 2001. Comments received related to the standard were considered by the committee in the development of a second draft of the standard. The various regulatory bodies having responsibility for food labelling in Canada were also informed of all comments received regarding mandatory labelling.
