This resource provides an in-depth exploration of Canada's Front-of-Package Labelling (FOPL) regulations, which will become mandatory for most prepackaged foods starting January 1, 2026. It discusses the rationale behind the labelling system, focusing on nutrients of concern such as sodium, sugars, and saturated fats, and their impacts on public health. The document also covers the implementation timeline, the science linking these nutrients to chronic health issues, and the economic burden of diet-related diseases in Canada. In addition, it examines how government policy is informed by nutrition research, providing a comprehensive overview of FOPL's intended aims and potential critiques. This educational resource is designed for individuals seeking to understand the critical aspects of food labelling and its influence on consumer choices.
