Consumer Labelling ActProvincial Exporters are advised that The Competition Bureau of Canada has made changes to the Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act, the Competition Act, and the Textile Labelling Act pertaining to “Made in Canada” and “Product of Canada” labelling for non-food products. 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.
