1. Purpose
The purpose of this document is to outline labelling requirements for fertilizers and supplements regulated under the Fertilizers Act and regulations.
As defined in the Fertilizers Act, a package includes a sack, bag, barrel, case or any other container in which fertilizers or supplements are placed or packed.
2. General regulatory labelling requirements
Every person who packages, or causes to be packaged, a fertilizer or supplement, or who imports a packaged fertilizer or supplement, must ensure that the package is labelled in accordance with the Fertilizers Regulations.
All information required by the regulations must be printed conspicuously, legibly and indelibly in both English and French.
A product label must:
- not include any incorrect or misleading information or symbol that could reasonably be expected to mislead a purchaser with respect to the identity of the product as a fertilizer or supplement, its safety, composition or directions for use
- be consistent with all information provided to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) during the registration process (if applicable)
- clearly define any acronyms used and
- use metric units of measurement
Equivalent imperial units are permitted to appear in addition to the metric (conversion must be accurate).
No changes may be made to the label, chemical composition or ingredients in a product that would impact its identity as a fertilizer or supplement, its safety, or its use, unless the registration is first amended accordingly.
Fertilizers or supplements packaged together in a multi-pack or kit are regulated as individual products and, as such, must be individually labelled in compliance with the Fertilizers Act and regulations. Additionally, the label of each product included in a multi-pack or kit is required to be visible, and legible to the consumer without opening the kit packaging. This requirement may be met through packaging the products in transparent material that permits a potential buyer to read the individual labels in their entirety, or the individual product labels must appear on the outer "kit" packaging.
3. Information required on a fertilizer or supplement label
Details on the information that is required to appear on the labels of fertilizers and supplements that are regulated under the Fertilizers Act are provided below (sample labels can be found in appendix 1). Some fertilizer and supplement product types have special labelling requirements that differentiate them from the general requirements in the regulations. These specific requirements are detailed in dedicated sub-sections of this labelling trade memorandum, or in separate trade memoranda for certain product-types. The following links will bring the reader directly to the appropriate product-specific labelling guidance:
- fertilizer-pesticides
- seeds treated with fertilizers or supplements
- growing media containing fertilizers or supplements
- customer-formula fertilizers
- products consisting solely of peat, peat moss, sphagnum moss, coconut coir, tree bark, perlite or vermiculite
With the exception of the product types identified above, a package containing a fertilizer or a supplement must be labelled with the following:
3.1 Product identity and description
- The name and complete address of the manufacturer or registrant or, if a fertilizer or supplement is not registered under the Fertilizer Regulations, the name and address of the person who packaged or caused the fertilizer or supplement to be packaged
- The name of the fertilizer or supplement
The name of a fertilizer that contains any major plant nutrient must include the grade designation that is stated as a hyphenated numerical series (the numerals must represent guarantees expressed in percent for total nitrogen, available phosphoric acid and soluble potash listed in that order). Note: a fertilizer that is intended for daily feeding and that is not intended for further dilution is not required to have its grade as part of its name
- The weight of the fertilizer or supplement (volume is alsomay also be included in addition to weight permitted)
- The lot number of the fertilizer or supplement
Lot number means a combination of letters, or numbers, or both, that allows a lot of a fertilizer or supplement to be traced in manufacture and distribution
- In the case of a product in which the active ingredient may deteriorate, the date beyond which the supplement is not intended for use
- If the fertilizer or supplement is registered, its registration number
- If the fertilizer or supplement product is exempt from registration because its ingredients appear on the List of primary fertilizer and supplement materials (list of materials), the term (name) for each component, as it appears on the list of materials, and any other information that is sufficient to demonstrate that the fertilizer or supplement is exempt
- If the fertilizer is exempt from registration but the ingredients do not appear on the list of materials, the name of each component
This information may be represented as an active ingredient derivation statement which lists all the ingredients.
- For mixtures of exempt fertilizers and supplements, or registered fertilizers and supplements, or mixtures of registered and exempt products:
- Option A: label demonstrates exemption
- the registration number of each registered fertilizer or supplement product
- the term (name) of each component as it appears on the list of materials and
- any other information that demonstrates the fertilizer or supplement is exempt (for example, sources of nutrients that do not appear on the list of materials but that are not produced by or derived from a living organism)
This information may be presented as an active ingredient derivation statement which lists all relevant terms from the list of materials, Fertilizers Act registration numbers and/or all other exempt sources for nutrients in the guaranteed analysis, as applicable. For example, "active ingredients derived from humic acid and registered product: xxxxxxxF Fertilizers Act." When provided, the active ingredient derivation statement should appear directly below the Guaranteed analysis.
- Option B: record keeping
Alternatively, a fertilizer or supplement product can be labelled with a statement indicating that any fertilizers or supplements in the mixture are registered or exempt from registration, and the responsible party maintains records of any information necessary to demonstrate that the final mixture is exempt from registration for a period that extends 5 years beyond any import or sale of the product, and informs the CFIA of where they are kept. Please refer to T-4-131 for detailed record keeping requirements. Note: option B is not available for growing media and seed products.
- Option A: label demonstrates exemption
3.2 Guaranteed analysis
The guaranteed analysis of a fertilizer or supplement must include, if applicable:
Nutrients
Untreated phosphatic fertilizer means a fertilizer whose sources of phosphorus have not been treated to increase the water solubility of the phosphorus therein.
- the minimum amount of total nitrogen, available phosphoric acid and soluble potash, expressed in percent
- in the case of an untreated phosphatic fertilizer (represented to contain phosphorus), the minimum amount of total phosphoric acid and the minimum amount of available phosphoric acid, expressed in percent
Examples of untreated phosphatic fertilizers include rock phosphate, struvite or magnesium ammonium phosphate, compost, manure and municipal biosolids.
- the minimum amount of each secondary nutrient (calcium, magnesium or sulphur), expressed in percent on an elemental basis
- the actual amount of each micronutrient (boron, chlorine, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum or zinc), expressed in percent on an elemental basis
Microorganisms
- active microorganisms (except in the case of consortia) must each be listed by genus and species (and strain if available) along with the following information:
- minimum number of viable cells per gram, or
- for each microorganism that is not a viable cell, another descriptor of the minimum concentration of that microorganism on a per gram basis
- for microbial consortia: a descriptor of the concentration of viable microorganisms on a per gram basis
pH adjusters
- for active ingredient(s) intended to neutralize acidity:
- the amount of calcium and magnesium, if any, expressed in percent on an elemental basis (minimum or actual)
- its neutralizing value, expressed in percent of the acid neutralizing capacity of calcium carbonate (minimum or actual) and
- the range of particle sizes of solid materials
- where an active ingredient is an acidifying material intended to increase the hydrogen ion concentration of a growing medium: its acidifying value, expressed in percent of the basic neutralizing capacity of hydrochloric acid (minimum or actual)
Other active ingredients
Organic matter means the matter remaining after removal of the moisture and total ash fractions from substances derived from living organisms
- organic matter: the amount expressed in percent and the moisture content expressed in percent (minimum or actual) and
- any other active ingredient expressed in percent (minimum or actual)
Note: if the active ingredient to be expressed in percent, is present in a concentration of less than0.001%, the guaranteed analysis may instead indicate its concentration, on a per gram basis, using another unit of measure.
Mixtures containing registered or exempt products
For all registered or exempt products included in a mixture, guarantees for nutrients and active ingredients must be carried forward and appear on the mixed product's label. When present at very low quantities in the mixture, the requirement to guarantee these nutrients or other active ingredients is based on whether or not they are "active" in the final product.
Nutrients are no longer "active" (no longer a significant source of plant nutrients) when they can not be detected by standard laboratory analysis. Nutrients at these levels are therefore no longer "active ingredients" (an ingredient of a fertilizer or supplement to which its performance as a fertilizer or supplement is attributed) and should not appear in a final product's guaranteed analysis.
Similarly, when supplement active ingredients are diluted below the level at which they affect the performance of the product as a fertilizer or supplement, they are no longer active ingredients and should not appear in a final guaranteed analysis.
Please contact the Fertilizer Section for product-specific guidance.
Labelling the guaranteed analysis section
The guaranteed analysis section may be entitled "Guaranteed minimum analysis" or "Guaranteed analysis". If the section's title includes "minimum", then any actives guaranteed on an actual basis (such as micronutrients) must include "(actual)" next to the guarantee. If the section's title does not specify minimum, then all guarantees are assumed to be actual amounts. Any actives guaranteed on minimum amount under such a heading must specify "(minimum)" (such as major plant nutrients).
The following table includes an example for each:
| Guaranteed minimum analysis | Guaranteed analysis |
|---|---|
| Calcium (Ca) ……………………....21% Magnesium (Mg) ………………..10% Boron (B) (actual) …………………2% | Total nitrogen (N) (minimum) ……..5% Soluble potash (K2O) (minimum) … 5% Iron (Fe) ………………………………………7% Zinc (Zn) ……………………………………..15% |
3.3 Directions for use
For a fertilizer, the directions for use must include 1 of the following:
- complete recommendations, including the intended crop type, the rate, the frequency, and the timing of application; or
- if the product is only intended for use as a supply of nutrients in mixed products, a statement such as "only to be used as a source of nutrients for the production of fertilizers and growing media" is included on the label and include the intended downstream uses (for example, for use in fertilizer mixtures intended for foliar application on ornamental and edible crops); or
- a statement indicating that the user should seek the advice of the county agricultural representative or a professional agricultural consultant
Additionally, for all products that contain micronutrients intended to treat a specific nutrient deficiency, a statement must also appear on the label indicating that the product should be used on the basis of a soil and/or tissue analysis.
For a supplement, the complete directions for use are to appear on the product label and include: the intended plant/crop type, the rate, the frequency of application, and the timing of use. If applicable, dilution instructions.
For mixtures of exempt fertilizers and supplements, or registered fertilizers and supplements, or mixtures of registered and exempt products, directions for use of the mixture must be consistent with those of each registered product (for example, target crop, use pattern, application rate, frequency and method). The following chart lists of examples of consistent and inconsistent directions for use.
| Registered product | Final mixture | Are uses consistent |
|---|---|---|
| Product A: registered for use rate of5mL/L added to the nutrient reservoir of hydroponic crops for the duration of the flowering cycle | Mixture: intended for use during the flowering cycle of hydroponic crops at rates equivalent to product A. | Yes |
| Product B: registered for use rate of 5mL/L added to the nutrient reservoir of hydroponic crops for the duration of the flowering cycle | Mixture: intended for use for garden vegetables, equivalent application rates to the registered product B, applied biweekly. | No. The directions for use are inconsistent. The final mixture requires registration. |
| Product C: registered micronutrient product to be used on the basis of a soil and/or tissue analysis. User should seek the advice of a professional agricultural consultant. | Mixture: micronutrient mixture to be used on the basis of a soil and/or tissue analysis. User should seek the advice of a professional agricultural consultant. | Yes. |
| Product D: registered micronutrient product to be used on the basis of a soil and/or tissue analysis. User should seek the advice of a professional agricultural consultant. | Mixture: intended for use for uses on forage crops and pastures at rates of30L/ha (diluted at least 10:1 before application by fertigation). | No. The directions for use are inconsistent. The final mixture requires registration. |
3.4 Claims
Environmental safety claims made on the label of a fertilizer or supplement product (for example: reduced nitrogen leaching, volatilization or runoff) require substantiation. Applicants may provide primary data and/or reference peer-reviewed literature to demonstrate that the active ingredient(s) can function as claimed, when used as intended.
3.5 Precautionary statements
A statement setting out any precaution that is necessary to mitigate a risk of harm to human, animal or plant health or the environment (except pests) may be required on the label/package of any regulated fertilizer or supplement product. Table 1 and 2 outline precautionary statements that are required when certain ingredients are present in a fertilizer or supplement product. In addition to the statements below, additional product-specific precautionary statements may be required on a case-by-case basis depending on the ingredients in the product, the product's risk profile and its intended use pattern.
