As part of our continued partnership with the grocery industry, new nutritional content was implemented to align with the Canadian Government Food and Drug Regulations (FDR) and Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR). This nutritional information supports the creation of bulk product labels for mixed nuts, deli meat, seasoned meat, cheese, in-store bakery and more. Loading this additional data gives brand owners the opportunity to share product specifics such as cheese type and firmness, fish species, meat cut, nut type and content, and more.
