The United Fresh Produce Association and the Canadian Produce Marketing Association (CPMA) have jointly released The USA-Canada Bilateral Labeling Guide.
This guide is a user-friendly tool for those involved in the design of fresh produce labeling and packaging to be shipped and distributed in the United States and/or Canada, including Quebec. It includes consumer packaging, master containers (RPC and shipping containers), detailed graphics for requirements for labeling fresh-cut produce, plus an extensive list of US and Canadian resources.
Jane Proctor, vice-president–policy and issue management for CPMA, said, “CPMA believes strongly in collaboration to provide the best outcomes for the industry and welcomed the opportunity to work with United to deliver this new resource for industry.”
This guide is available free of charge for all United Fresh members and CPMA members. For answers to questions about the guide, contact Vaché at 425-629-6271 or Proctor at 613-226-4187.
