As some of you may not know Health Canada is strangling Natural Health Products (NHP) in red tape.
Many brands you use will see dramatic price increases or stop existing in Canada altogether. One in five brands said they are seriously considering leaving Canada.
Complicated and unnecessary changes will force brands to evaluate their product line and drop products that are too expensive or unprofitable, resulting in less variety. In a recent survey, over 70% of brands said they would have to pull product from market if changes go through.
Small, local businesses that cannot afford to navigate increasingly complex regulations and lengthy approval processes will be priced out of business. 83% of companies said it will be challenging to absorb the costs of these changes.
Exciting new products and international brands will likely not come to Canada because the regulatory burden will be too severe.
New regulations are increasing the amount of packaging (for the same amount of product), reduce recyclability, adversely impacting the environment.
If you value your health, having the CHOICE of what products you can purchase, and want to voice your concerns, please sign the CFHA's petition and STOP Health Canada from taking your NHPs.
