501 - The ASC's bulletin in April 2015 indicates that the statement "Product X is authorized for sale by Health Canada" is consistent with the Food and Drug Regulations and acceptable for use. Previous Ask PAAB questions 108 and 347 also address this issue and section C.01.007. We note that Health Canada's Consumer Advertising Guidelines for Marketed Health Products has precluded the use of statements that suggest authorization by Health Canada, and has not been updated since the ASC's bulletin. Can you please provide PAAB's position on the use of the statement above and also whether the use of "approved by Health Canada" or similar statements is acceptable?
