The webinar will contain an overview of product licence applications that are required in Canada for dietary supplements (called natural health care products) as per the Canadian Natural Health Products Regulations. An explanation of which products are covered by these regulations and which products are exempt will be provided. The definition of a natural health product will be reviewed, with close attention provided on details such as acceptable dosage forms and package claims. The difference between this unique group of products and other regulated products, such as cosmetics, over-the-counter drugs and foods will be discussed.
Examination of the different types of product licence applications that must be submitted before marketing of dietary supplements to Canadians. The necessary components of various application types will be covered. Examples will be provided using Health Canada’s electronic application forms, and using case studies of acceptable applications and applications that would likely be refused.
A site licence is also required to be in place before dietary supplements are exported and sold in Canada and a brief explanation of this part of the approval process will be provided.
Why Should You Attend:
Confusion remains for those foreign companies wishing to sell their dietary supplements in Canada. Often these groups are left wondering just how to steer through the regulations governing the sale of their supplements in Canada. Unlike other countries in the world, Canada requires all manufacturers to conform to specific regulations (called the Natural Health Products Regulations) for their dietary supplements before exporting these for sale in Canada.
For dietary supplements, termed Natural Health Product in Canada, each product must receive a product licence before it is sold in Canada, as evidenced by an 8-digit NPN confirming approval by Health Canada. Once these application processes are fully understood the result will be a reduction in delays experienced when exporting dietary supplements to Canada.
Companies who have experienced refused shipments at the Canadian border or products removed from shelves in Canada will gain awareness around the reasons for this, and receive tools to avoid this occurrence in the future. Marketing groups will gain clarity on permissible package claims and advertising statements in Canada for dietary supplements.
Health Canada’s seal of approval is a pre-requisite for sale of dietary supplements and is displayed on all approved packages. The government endorsed supplements are sought out by the more informed Canadian consumers. A solid appreciation of the Canadian marketplace, application process and competitor products in the various categories of consumer health products is fundamental to the successful product launch in Canada.
