These changes add more requirements for Canadian manufacturers who utilize these labels. Previously, 'Made in Canada' claims could be made as long as the product met a 51% threshold of Canadian content and had its last substantial transformation in Canada. The new Guidelines draw a distinction between 'Made in Canada' and 'Product of Canada' claims. The revised regulations took effect July 1, 2010. Click here. Product of Canada Labelling (pdf) |
