Finally Canada Gets New Labeling Laws

[Ursa Major]

I am excited about this! I just read a report that it has become mandatory for personal care products and cosmetics here in Canada to list the ingredients. It's about time! They have until 2007 to comply, but have to provide lists of ingredients in the meantime.

That's great news!

Finally!

After I found out about my "new" allergies and sensitivities, I've found it very frustrating to not have info on the products I already own...and frustrating to not see a list of ingredients when I'm at the store. This will help a lot.

Oh that's so awesome!! I'm also one of those was very sensative skin and insane sensativity to gluten so it'd be nice to know which soaps, lotions, shampoos etc we can use without having to spend a zillion dollars or specialist shampoos/hand lotions/etc!! Yay for Canadians, eh?

I am so thrilled about this as it is a step to making our lives easier.

Now for more good news the After Eight Chocolates including the new Baily's Irish Creams are wheat/gluten-free and Ganongs Chocolates in Canada are also that way. I talked to the head of QC in Canada, whose mother is Celiac and he says there is absolutely no wheat, rye, oats, barley, malt or gluten in anything and after every flavor the machines are heavy duty sprayed a minimum of seven times. They take the allergies very serious and especially him because of his mother's Celiac problems.
