The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has initiated a 90-day consultation to seek feedback on the proposed guidance for labelling plant-based alternatives to egg products.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

This move comes as the Canadian government plans to develop clear labelling and representation standards for plant-based food in response to the growing consumer demand for these products.<\/p>\n

The new guidance is designed to help the industry adhere to legislation and ensure consistency in the promotion of these foods.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It also aims to empower consumers to make informed choices aligned with their dietary preferences.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The proposed guidance outlines how to differentiate plant-based alternatives from traditional egg products.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

It details the use of words, images, and packaging to convey an accurate impression of the product that could not be construed as deceptive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
