Under the current requirements, only certain fresh fruits or vegetables packaged in non-retail containers can use numerical count for the net quantity declaration. Units of measurement for certain foods are prescribed in an incorporated by reference (IbR) document titled “Units of Measurement for the Net Quantity Declaration of Certain Foods”, incorporated into the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR).CFIA is proposing to allow the unit of measure for these fresh fruits or vegetables to be declared by either weight, volume or numerical count. CFIA is also proposing revisions to the wording of item 50 of Table 1 and item 1 of Table 3 to clarify the current requirement.
