Canadian Ingredient and Composition Claims
What you'll gain from this course
This training course is delivered in two sessions (listed as the start & end date), with a day in between with no class for self work. The schedule is as follows:
Day 1: Session #1 - Knowledge Exchange Webinar: 3 hours (12:45 PM - 4:00 PM Eastern Time)
Day 2: Homework Practicum - No in-class time
Day 3: Session #2 - Practicum Webinar: 3 hours (12:45 PM - 4:00 PM Eastern Time)
This two-part virtual, instructor-led training program starts by looking at basic ingredient and composition claims considerations and requirements. Learners are then introduced to specific representations generally known as highlighting ingredients and flavours, composition and method of production claims. By the end of the program learners will be better able to gauge what claims may and may not be made. In addition, learners will become more familiar with the proper context and nuance of making ingredient and composition claims.
This training program is an evolution from the Advanced Ingredient Labelling program which has successfully run for the past 15 years. The exciting difference is that this course is purely focused on ingredient and composition claims. It is more accessible to both technical and marketing professionals.
The program offers a ½ day live online knowledge exchange presentation where learners can bring their questions and share their views. A second live online ½ day is dedicated to reviewing the assigned Practicum that learners will complete on their own time. The practicum is not graded and does not need to be submitted. It is an excellent self-evaluation tool where learners can appreciate if they have grasped the subject matter.
