Bill C-47 amends the Food and Drugs Act to ban both the testing of cosmetic products on animals and the sale of products relying on animal testing data, according to the news release. The news release noted animal testing for cosmetics was “rarely conducted in Canada.
We will keep working with experts and international partners to explore safe, cruelty-free alternatives so no more animals suffer and die due to cosmetic testing.” The release added Health Canada is also working to identify “effective alternatives to animal testing” outside the cosmetic world. The amendment banning cosmetic testing on animals in one of a package of amendments included in the measure.
