In addition to barring companies from testing their cosmetic products on animals in Canada, the regulations prevent new products that rely on animal testing data to establish product safety from being sold in this country
TORONTO — Canada has banned testing cosmetic products on animals, a largely symbolic move that brings the policy in line with dozens of other countries.
Animal testing has fallen out of vogue in the cosmetics industry in recent years, as a result of similar legislation in the European Union that was introduced two decades ago. When the E.U. introduced its ban in 2004, it invested millions of euros into research to develop alternatives to animal testing.
But once the industry group began collaborating with animal rights' groups, he said, they were able to come up with a list of principles that worked for them both. From there, he said, Health Canada drafted the bill.
