Watchlist
New foods we’re keeping an eye on
Some of what’s coming to grocery shelves is new, and not everyone will want to guess. Here’s where each stands in Canada today.
Lab-grown meat
Meat grown from animal cells. Health Canada treats it as a novel food that needs a safety review before sale, and lists no cell-cultivated meat as approved for sale here.
3D-printed “meat” and seafood
Printed fillets and patties are sold in parts of Europe and the US. So far they’re plant-based, not made from animal cells. Read the ingredient list, and don’t assume the front says it.
Gene-edited crops
Under Health Canada’s 2022 guidance, many gene-edited plants don’t count as “novel” foods, so they can reach shelves without their own safety review. A voluntary public list shows some that were submitted.
We’ll keep watching, and we’ll tell you when any of these reach Ontario shelves.
Checked October 2026. Sources: Health Canada, cellular agriculture; Health Canada’s 2022 guidance on gene-edited plants.
