Complying with food labeling laws and regulations in Canada and the United States can be a challenge given the many gray areas in the regulations and guidelines. dicentra staff has first-hand knowledge of the food regulations with past experience working in both government (Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Food Directorate, FDA and FTC) and industry.

Our services in this area include:

• Classification and confirmation of food status (e.g. food versus drug or NHP, conventional food versus novel food)
• Preparation of food labels and reviews for compliance
• Preparation of nutrition facts tables
• Preparation of Novel Food Notifications
• Preparation of GRAS Notifications
• Interim and Temporary Market Authorization (TMA) applications
• Verification of compliance of health and nutrition claims

Failure to comply with the food regulations can result in costly future corrective actions, and even possible recalls. dicentra can not only help to ensure your food products are compliant, but can also suggest ways in which your food products can be placed on the market with a competitive advantage.
