Can I declare the net quantity of my food in terms of number of pieces, instead of net weight? E.g. number of pieces of eggs, sweets, tablets

Question

Accepted Answer

The Food Regulations requires net quantity of the food present in the package to be declared on the product label. In the case of solid food, the net quantity must be declared in terms of its net weight. For example, “Net weight: 50g”/ “Net weight: 10g x 10 pieces”. The number of pieces of food present in the package may be included voluntarily, in addition to the net weight. For example, “20 candies”.
