Canada and US nutrition labels follow different presentation and rule details. If you sell in both markets, generate market-specific outputs.
At-a-glance differences
- panel format and layout expectations differ
- language requirements differ (notably for Canada)
- serving and rounding implementations can differ
- compliance references and guidance bodies differ
Who should care
- producers selling cross-border
- brands preparing separate packaging for CA and US
- teams adapting one recipe to multiple markets
If you sell in only one country, use the dedicated country page first.
Practical workflow for dual-market sellers
- Keep one canonical recipe version.
- Generate Canadian label output for CA packages.
- Generate US label output for US packages.
- Archive exports with clear market tags.
Common mistakes
- using one panel in both countries
- translating/formatting manually outside generation workflow
- mixing records from different market outputs
What to do in Nutrifax
- choose target market format at generation time
- export separate files for each market
- keep market-specific version history
