DIA Annual Canadian Meeting

Transformation with Collaboration

Session 6: Track A: Innovative Labeling Policies, Guidances, and Solutions for Self-Care Products

Food, Health & Consumer Products of Canada, Canada

Health Canada has been working with stakeholders since 2016 to consult on new policy and regulations that would achieve a consistent, risk-based approach to regulation for over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, natural health products, and cosmetics. In February 2018, Health Canada set out ambitious plans to execute the Self-Care Framework under existing legal statues, beginning with improving labeling for NHPs by adapting Facts Table style labeling. This announcement comes at a time when the consumer health product industry is actively working to adapt Facts Table labeling to all marketed OTCs in retail by June 2021. Necessity is the mother of convention. Packaging size limitations and timing constraints have created an environment where highly innovative approaches to packaging and labeling policy are needed to ensure that consumers have the information they need at the point of sale.

Learning Objective : At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:
  • Gain awareness of the future regulatory and labeling policy direction for self-care products
  • Understand current labeling policies to leverage electronic label extensions required information at the “point of use” vs “point of selection”
  • Identify strategies for adapting Facts Tables on packages
