What happened
Health Canada issued an advisory in April 2026 concerning unauthorized injectable peptides. The advisory states that labeling a product as "research use only" does not make it legal or exempt it from regulatory requirements. It warns against the purchase or use of unauthorized peptide drugs.

Why it matters
The advisory requires laboratories to review a product's classification and intended use before procurement. This emphasizes that product status, rather than the supplier's location, determines regulatory compliance.
