Functional Beverages: Formulation and Compliance

Functional beverages—energy drinks, fortified waters, and more—sit at the intersection of food and sometimes supplement regulation.

Formulation and claims

Ingredients and concentrations drive both efficacy and compliance. Claims (e.g. “vitamin C,” “electrolytes”) must be supported by the formulation and, often, testing.

CFIA and labeling

Canadian functional beverages must meet CFIA requirements for labeling, nutrition, and claims. Formulation software that supports food compliance helps.
