What we heard report on guidelines for simulated meat and poultry products

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) consulted with Canadians from November to December 2020 on proposed updates to the guidelines for industry on simulated meat and simulated poultry products as well as new guidelines for certain other plant-based protein foods.

The proposed guidelines outline the rules for labelling, advertising, composition and fortification for such products. The guidance is intended to clarify for Canada’s food industry what constitutes simulated meat or poultry products. Clearer guidelines will better support industry in their understanding and application of the regulatory requirements and will provide consumers with the information they need to make informed buying decisions.
