Abstract
As part of an overall global trend, Canadian consumers may choose from an extensive variety of products to supplement their diets. Although common terms such as “dietary supplements,” “functional foods,” and “nutraceuticals” are not specifically defined in Canadian regulation, products of this nature most commonly fall into one of two overarching regulatory categories: foods or drugs. This chapter provides an overview of these categories, including the various subcategories (conventional foods, supplemented foods, and natural health products) and their associated regulatory requirements. Because it is certainly of interest to anyone reading this chapter, a discussion of health claims is also presented.
