What it does

Submit your product's nutritional data per 100g or 100ml. The Canada FOP Label Guard checks against Health Canada's 2026 FOP thresholds (calories, saturated fat, trans fat, sugars, sodium), determines which 'High In' symbols are mandatory, specifies the correct bilingual text and placement on the principal display panel, and flags ingredient list implications for added sugars.

Example use case

A snack brand launches a new product in Canada. The FOP Guard checks their Supplement Facts against the 2026 thresholds: 628 kcal/100g (HIGH), 22g fat/100g (not triggered), 9.8g saturated fat/100g (HIGH), 720mg sodium/100g (HIGH). It specifies three mandatory bilingual symbols on the front of pack — the artwork must be updated before the product can legally sell in Canada.
