392 - Would a corporate message similar to "Company X is committed to research in prostate cancer" be PAAB exempt?
-
On its own (not linked to anything else), this statement is a corporate message without product mention. It is therefore exempt under s1.5. Please keep in mind that Health Canada is very concerned about pre-NOC product messages (whether direct or implied). If you plan on including additional information, it is advisable to submit the piece for PAAB review with the aim of avoiding inadvertently creating materials that contravene C.08.002 of the Food and Drug Regulations.
