any nutrition facts?
- lherb0
They are usually stacked on top of one another and they must take up equal space, ie the french text can be a slightly smaller point size as french is usually more copy but overall they must have the same overall space appointed to each. I will try to find some pics in a bit.
- I'm trying to see if they put them on separate panels if there is no room.doesnotexist
- Not usually, I can take a look to see if I can find examples of this.lherb

most of the other stuff is broken down the same way:
english/french..............info
english/french..............info

Maybe someone can take some pictures for you.

Sometimes the facts are located on the opposite sides of each other. One shorter side and one longer side = English.
One shorter side and one longer side = French.
(I have no idea what the technical packaging terms are)The other way of doing it is what canuck posted above.

There are some people in our office who do a lot of food stuff, they don't come in everyday but if they come in today I will ask what the rules are with having the info on different panels.

I think this the site I use. There is ratio sizing, so depending on the size of the label depends on the required size of the Nutrition info. Also the French / English need to be equally as prominant. But I will check at work later.

I just found a sugar package (Lantic) in the office with english on one panel and french on another, the company is located in Montreal so I would assume this is OK regulation wise.
