Canadian Labeling Case study : olivia's croutons
We developed bilingual packaging for Olivia’s Croutons’ line of stuffings and croutons, ensuring compliance with Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) regulations. This included research and recommendations on ingredients, standards of identity, allergens, additives, and health claims, as well as creating compliant nutrition tables.
Following CFIA design guidelines, we translated and designed packaging for seven SKUs, delivering clear, compliant, and appealing bilingual labels.
This project highlights our expertise in Canadian food labeling, translation, and graphic design.
