News from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has developed an industry guidance on the importation of non compliant meat products falling under section 19 of the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR).
Importers may import meat products from United States which do not meet Canadian labelling and/or compositional requirements and that are intended to be manufactured, processed, treated, preserved, graded, packaged or labelled in Canada for the purpose of export.
To import a meat product shipment that meets this criteria, please follow the industry guidance on importing meat products falling under section 19 of the SFCR.
For details, please refer to the Industry Notice.
If you have any concerns or questions, please contact Ask CFIA.
