Novelty Determination and Novel Food Application

Products that may be classified as novel foods in Canada include those resulting from a manufacturing process not previously used for that food, those lacking a history of safe use as a food, or those that have been genetically modified. Health Canada conducts a rigorous assessment of all novel foods prior to their sale to ensure safety and compliance with regulatory standards.

Determining whether a product qualifies as a novel food is a crucial first step in the Canadian regulatory process. Our team specializes in novelty determinations, helping you identify if your product meets the criteria for classification as a novel food. If so, we assist in facilitating a pre-submission consultation meeting with Health Canada, providing strategic advice, and preparing a high-quality Novel Food Application tailored to Canadian requirements.

In addition to guiding you through the novel food process, we offer a comprehensive range of regulatory services for foods and beverages, ensuring your product meets all applicable regulations.
