Dear Stakeholders,
We are pleased to inform you that our second annual Food and Nutrition Highlights Report has been published on Health Canada’s website. The 2020 report is part of our commitment to make more information available to the public, our partners, and our stakeholders.
This second edition will give you an overview of the work we undertook in 2020 to support healthy eating, food safety and innovation, as well as how we contributed to the Government of Canada’s comprehensive response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
While the pandemic has challenged all of us, we continued to work to promote and implement evidence-based nutrition policies and standards, and advance initiatives under the Healthy Eating Strategy. We also forged ahead to modernize our regulations to address the issues, irritants, and bottlenecks that affect innovation and growth in the agri-food sector.
We want to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support and engagement over the past year. While the pandemic has challenged all of
us, we remain committed to ensuring Canadians are supported in making safe and healthy food choices.
Sincerely,
Pierre Sabourin
