With Health Canada still vying to regulate Natural Health Products (NHPs) in the same manner as drugs, it is important for all members of the industry to voice their concerns about this issue.
“This is a scary time for the industry,” says Patrick Toledano, president of Herbasante. “Health Canada is looking to scrap what we previously worked hard to build. From a financial standpoint, this represents 10 years of our paying to adhere to the current standards possibly going down the drain.”
For Toledano and other members of the industry, this makes it extremely important to raise awareness about—and work against—these regulations.
“Currently, we are working to get the word out to our clients and consumers about this issue,” adds Toledano. “They are signing petitions and voicing their concerns about this potentially very serious change.”
