anyone have examples that show the two languages side by side on the package? I'd like to see some nutrition facts and examples in general, can't seem to find any.

any nutrition facts?

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.
