Genesis Foods Q2 2026: New Labeling Flexibility for Canada and U.S. Nutrition Teams

Food and beverage teams are managing more label requirements, more product variations, and more pressure to move quickly from formulation to finished packaging. For regulatory, R&D, and labeling teams, that often means balancing speed with careful review across countries, package sizes, serving formats, and claims.

The Q2 Genesis Foods releases focused on making that work easier to manage, with expanded support for Canadian labeling requirements, more flexibility for U.S. nutrition labels, and usability updates that help teams move from formulation to packaging review with fewer manual steps.

For CPG brands, restaurants, manufacturers, and other food businesses, the updates we made to Genesis Foods in Q2 support faster label development, cleaner packaging workflows, and stronger collaboration between product development and regulatory teams.

Expanded Support for Canadian Labeling Requirements

Several of the Q2 Genesis Foods updates focus on helping teams manage Canadian labels with more flexibility and more complete support for market-specific requirements.

New Support for Canada Supplemented Foods Labels

One of the largest updates is the addition of Canada Supplemented Foods Label support.

Health Canada has specific labeling requirements for supplemented foods, which are prepackaged foods with added supplemental ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, or caffeine. These products may require a Supplemented Food Facts table, along with other label elements depending on the product and ingredients. Health Canada notes that supplemented food labels are intended to help consumers identify these products and make informed food choices.

For food companies developing functional beverages, nutrition bars, or other products with supplemental ingredients for the Canadian market, this is an important addition. Teams can now build labels that reflect these requirements within Genesis Foods, helping reduce the need to manage supplemented food labeling outside the platform.

This update supports a more efficient path from formulation to label review, especially for teams expanding into Canada or managing products that need different label formats across markets.

Canada Child and Infant Label Profiles

Genesis Foods also adds new Canadian Infant and Child profile options; when creating labels for recipes targeting infants under 12 months old or children ages one to three under the Canada authority, users now have additional reference Daily Value options. Teams can create labels with Adult, Infant, or Child calculations under the Canada authority.

For brands developing products for younger age groups, this update gives labeling teams more flexibility to apply the appropriate calculation profile during label creation and review.

Canada Nutrient Content Claims

This release also adds support for Canadian Nutrient Content Claims. Genesis Foods can now identify the Canadian Nutrient Content Claims a recipe qualifies for and allow users to select the preferred description for each claim. Some claims, such as no added sodium or no added sugar, require confirmation that the recipe meets the relevant requirements. 

Once selected in Genesis Foods, claims will be visible in the Packaging Assets report, helping teams keep claim information connected to the broader packaging review process. For regulatory and marketing teams working together on label claims, this supports a more connected workflow from recipe analysis to package-ready documentation. 

Expanded Serving Size Overrides for U.S. and Canada Labels

Genesis Foods also expands the ability to override serving size on all U.S. and Canada label types, giving teams more control when reviewing labels for different product formats, package sizes, or market needs, while helping reduce manual recalculation work.

Together, these Canadian updates support a more efficient path from formulation to label review, especially for teams expanding into Canada or managing products that need different label formats across markets.

More Flexibility for U.S. Labels and Nutrition Claims

The Q2 Genesis Foods releases also give teams more customizability for U.S. labeling, especially for nutrition claims, serving sizes, and multi-recipe products.

  Override to Show Insignificant Nutrients on U.S. Simplified Labels

Users can now choose to display certain insignificant nutrients on a U.S. Simplified Label, including nutrients such as trans fat, cholesterol, dietary fiber, total sugars, added sugars, vitamin D, saturated fat, calcium, iron, and potassium.

This matters when teams need label information to support nutrition claims. For example, if a product carries a claim such as “Cholesterol Free” or “No Trans Fat,” showing the related nutrient can help provide clearer support on the label.

For regulatory and marketing teams working together on claims, this gives them more flexibility to present the right information while still using the simplified format when appropriate.

Different Household Measure for Each Recipe in a U.S. Aggregate Label

For U.S. Aggregate Labels, Genesis Foods now supports a different household measure for each recipe.

Since U.S. Aggregate Labels can include up to eight recipes on one label, this update is especially useful for multi-recipe products or variety packs where each recipe may need its own household serving description.

Usability Updates for Packaging Fit and Formulation Speed 

Beyond country-specific updates, the Q2 Genesis Foods releases include improvements that help teams work more
  efficiently across label creation and recipe formulation.

Packaging space is rarely one-size-fits-all. A label that works on one package may need adjustment for another format, panel size, or design requirement. The release introduces Dynamic Label Width for several U.S., Canada, and Mexico label types. Users can resize supported labels in pixels, inches, millimeters, or centimeters, giving teams more control over how nutrition information fits into packaging workflows.

For teams working with design agencies, packaging teams, or multiple package formats, this update can help reduce back-and-forth during label layout review. It also gives users more flexibility to adapt labels without moving work into separate manual formatting steps too early in the process.

Built for Labeling Teams That Need Speed and Control

The Genesis Foods Q2 releases give food companies more ways to manage complex labeling work across markets, product formats, and internal review needs.

Expanded Canada support helps teams manage supplemented food labeling, Canadian Nutrient Content Claims, infant and child profiles, cholesterol %DV display preferences, and serving size adjustments. U.S. updates give teams more flexibility for simplified labels, nutrition claims, serving size overrides, and aggregate label household measures. Usability updates make it easier to adapt labels for packaging needs and build formulations more efficiently.

Together, these updates support the daily work of regulatory, R&D, nutrition, and labeling teams that need accurate information, flexible tools, and efficient workflows from formulation through packaging review.
