Did you know that soap is considered a cosmetic in Canada? That balms, salves and lotions cannot be marketed to heal or solve problems? There are many rules and regulations governing the production, packaging and sale of any of these products in Canada, and the producer could be subject to tens of thousands of dollars in fines if not compliant – even if just gifting the products! In this seminar FARMED member, Pamela Nelson, will guide you through the rules applicable to small batch producers preparing products for sale direct to consumer and for wholesale or consignment with retailers. Participants are encouraged to bring any product packaging and labels with you if you have them!
