Abstract
Health Canada introduced new labelling, nutrition, and health regulations on food in 2003, 2005, and 2007. These regulations did not appear to have significant consequences for the financial performance of large, publicly traded Canadian food manufacturers, as measured by stock market prices or accounting profits.
