Can the label of my food product contain non-English text?

Updated by SFA

The mandatory labelling information required under the Food Regulations must be declared in English.

The Food Regulations do not prohibit the use of other languages in addition to the English text on food labels as long as the non-English text does not contradict the information declared in English and does not contravene the Food Regulations.
