Canada - A New Regulatory Framework for Federal Food Inspection: Proposed Safe Food for Canadians Regulations The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is consolidating federal food inspection regulations in Canada. The new regulatory framework will incorporate existing commodity-based regulations into a single, more outcome-based regulation. The proposed Regulations would establish three key food safety elements: licensing, traceability, and safety requirements related to the preparation of food and preventive control plans. These elements would apply to all food that is imported, or prepared for exported or inter-provincial trade. In developing the proposed Regulations, the Government of Canada has consulted broadly with both domestic and international stakeholders. Canada welcomes comments on this proposal. Responses received as a result of this consultation will be considered in finalizing the regulations. Proposed date of adoption : To be determined. Proposed date of publication : To be determined. Proposed date of entry into force: [ ] Six months from date of publication, and/or : To be determined. Final date for comments: [ ] Sixty days from the date of circulation of the notification and/or : 21 April 2017 |
