The 2010 deadline for Canadian health care products to be registered under the Natural Health Products Directive (NHPD) legislation will not be the shock many are expecting, according to a Canadian consultancy.

 

 

 

 

NHP regulations dictate natural products must gain a Natural Products license by January 1, 2010, but Dicentra Inc says Health Canada will act with a soft touch as the deadline approaches, due in part to a backlog in applications.

The fact the regulation says, “All natural health products must comply with all the Regulations by January 1, 2010”, should be understood in the context of a backlog and a focus on drug-like products.

“The NHPD has stated that they will not focus their enforcement action on those products that do not pose an undue risk,” Dicentra said.
