Guidance document : classification of products at the food-natural health product interface : products in food formats.: H164-108/2018E-PDF

"This guidance document outlines the principles and considerations to be applied in determining whether a product in a food format is a “natural health product” (NHP) or a food. It is intended to help users (for example, industry, health care professionals, Health Canada and Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) staff) determine whether a product is subject to the regulatory requirements of the Food and Drug Regulations (FDR) or the Natural Health Products Regulations (NHPR), and to facilitate consistent and predictable decision-making when determining the regulatory pathway for products falling at the food-NHP interface. This guidance document is aimed at achieving greater consistency, transparency and quality of classification decisions relating to products in food format. It is intended to be used in conjunction with other existing guidance documents and policies"--Introduction, p. 3.
