FAQs
  1. What do I need in order to import and distribute a Natural Health Product in Canada?

    You need to obtain a Site Licence and the product you intend to market must have a Product Licence. All aspects of the regulations including GMPs and any commitments made in the PLA must be followed.

  2. What do I do if I am not able to test the active ingredient in my product?

    If there is no known method of analysis, or other ingredients interfere with the analysis, it is acceptable to qualify by ‘input’
    [See Evidence for Quality of Natural Health Products, June 2007 – Version 2 – 2.5.2.]

  3. Which products require testing for pesticides?

    Pesticide residual testing is required for plant materials, algae, fungi, or non-human animal materials (e.g., fish or marine mammals) or extracts.
