Starting in January 2026, food and beverage CPG products exceeding a certain level of saturated fat, sugars, and sodium will be required to display a new front-of-pack (FOP) symbol. Join us for an informative webinar as we partner with the Canadian Health Food Association (CHFA), a leading authority on regulatory changes and consumer perceptions, to help you navigate this new requirement. CHFA will break down everything you need to know about the FOP symbol and the upcoming regulartory changes and share key insights from their recent consumer study, 'Consumer Perceptions to Nutrition Labelling and the New Front-of-Pack Symbol in the NOW Industry. We will wrap up our webinar with some high-level technical considerations when working on reformulating your products to avoid putting an FOP symbol on your packaging.
