{"topic_id":"CA_bilingual_labeling_requirements","category":"canada","context":"Canadian federal feed-label language rules are set by the Feeds Regulations, 2024 (SOR/2024-132), s.48: information required to be shown on a feed label must be printed conspicuously, legibly and indelibly in English or French or both languages. Two classes of information must appear in BOTH English and French: (1) for a medicated feed (other than a custom medicated feed), the information referred to in s.45(1)(f) and (2)(c); and (2) for any other feed, any caution statement or warning statement required on the label. Optional information that prevents risk to animal or human health or the environment (including caution/warning statements and preventive-control-plan information under s.59(1)(a)) must likewise be printed in both English and French (s.48(2)). CFIA's RG-1 feed registration guidance conditions several registration exemptions on the feed being labelled 'in English and/or French languages only'. Scope note: dogs and cats are not on the s.1(2) designated-livestock list under the Feeds Act (per RG-1), so these Feeds Regulations language provisions apply to livestock feeds; project sources contain no pet-food-specific federal bilingual-labeling statute, no CFIA machine-translation warnings, and no Quebec Charter (Bill 101) text — earlier claims of that kind were removed as unverifiable.\n","sources":["pdf-parsed/ca-2026/cfia_feeds_regulations_2024.txt (s.48 language of label, s.45(1)(f)/(2)(c))","pdf-parsed/ca-2026/cfia_rg1_petfood.txt (English and/or French exemption conditions)"],"tokens_estimated":210,"generated_at":"2026-07-19","tip":"Use /api/v1/topics to discover more topics. /api/v1/nutrient for precise single-point queries. /api/v1/cross_compare for 2-3 standard comparisons."}
