(ii) to all or part of the principal display surface, or. (i) to all or part of the bottom of the container. 
(b) in the case of a consumer prepackaged food whose container is an ornamental container, the part of the label that is applied. (ii) all of part of the surface of the display card that is displayed or visible under customary conditions of sale or use. (i) all or part of the surface of the display surface. (a) in the case of a consumer prepackaged food whose container is mounted on a display card, the part of the label that is applied to one of both of the following:. Principal display panelĪs defined in the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations, principal display panel means: Prepackaged, in respect of a food, means packaged in a container in the manner in which the food is ordinarily sold to or used or purchased by a person (definition), and includes consumer prepackaged (definition). Ī person may therefore be an individual or an organization, and may include a consumer, a manufacturer, a retailer, an importer, a restaurant, any other commercial or industrial enterprise, an institution such as a school or hospital, and anyone else who sells, uses, or buys a food. Person means an individual or an organization as defined in section 2 of the Criminal Code. On the other hand, fabric-covered or embossed cardboard boxes for chocolates (e.g., for Valentine's Day) are normally considered decorative rather than ornamental. Ornamental containers are usually made of metal (e.g., cookie tins), plastic or glass (e.g., candy filled figurines). Ornamental containers must be substantial enough to be sold on their own merit (i.e., without the food). Ornamental containerĪn ornamental container means a container that, except on the bottom, does not have any promotional or advertising material thereon, other than a trade mark or common name and that, because of any design appearing on its surface or because of its shape or texture, appears to be a decorative ornament and is sold as both a decorative item and as the container of a food. Īs defined in the Food and Drugs Act, label includes any legend, word or mark attached to, included in, belonging to or accompanying any food, drug, cosmetic, device or package. LabelĪs defined in the Safe Food for Canadians Act, label includes a legend, word or mark that is or is to be applied or attached to or included in, or that accompanies or is to accompany, a food commodity or a package. In respect of a food, means packaged in a container in the manner in which the food is ordinarily sold to or used or purchased by an individual - or in which the food may reasonably be expected to be obtained by an individual - without being repackaged, to be used for non-commercial purposes. In contrast, one would not reasonably expect a lemon meringue pie to be displayed on its side as it would result in damage to the product, and hence there is a definable bottom. If a food or container is labelled or printed in such a way that it may reasonably rest on any of the sides, then there is no bottom.įor example, as a frozen chicken dinner in a box may be displayed on more than one side, there is no definable bottom. 
Some containers have several options as to how they can be displayed. The bottom is considered to be that part of a food or container which may reasonably be expected to be the surface on which the container rests when displayed for purchase.
