I am engaging an “original equipment manufacturer” (OEM) company to help me manufacture my product. As I am the product owner, can I declare my company name and address as the manufacturer?

Question

Accepted Answer

The Food Regulations require locally manufactured prepacked food to be declared with the name and address of the local manufacturer, packer or vendor for the product. In view that the product is not manufactured by your company, it would not be appropriate for your company to be declared as the manufacturer of the product. Instead, appropriate terms may be used such that it is clear that your company is the product owner, for e.g., “Manufactured for: {insert name and address of your company}” or “Manufactured under the rights of {insert name and address of your company}”.
