(b) Other specific assumptions footnote5

1. Labelling (one-time/compliance costs)

• Breweries that routinely change their labels every three years or less will not carry additional labelling costs.
• Breweries that only manufacture and sell products intra-provincially will only carry costs to meet the mandatory labelling requirement for food allergen sources, gluten sources and added sulphites.
• Breweries that sell any products inter-provincially will meet all the requirements. The same product sold intra- and inter-provincially will have the same label.
• Printing plates will cost $431 per product for small businesses and $6,250 per product for medium/large businesses.
• There will be no labelling costs for imported products as foreign breweries will carry the change in labelling costs.

2. Testing

• One in five provincial liquor boards will conduct testing.
  • On average, 500 products will be tested, with ongoing testing conducted four times per year.
• Outsourcing testing will cost $125 per test. footnote6
