Safe Food for Canadians: Strengthening Canada's Food Safety System
Consultation with micro and small businesses closes June 30, 2015
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is seeking feedback from micro and small businesses on options that could reduce the burden associated with some requirements being considered.
Learn more and participate in the consultation by reading the discussion paper and completing the questionnaire.
The CFIA is committed to strengthening Canada's world-class food safety system and is considering improvements based on three key features of international food safety systems:
- Identification of food businesses – to know who is involved in preparing food and what they are producing, and communicate directly with these businesses to share important information.
- Ability to trace a food product's path one step forward and one step back – to reduce the time it takes to remove unsafe products from the market.
- Preventive food safety controls – to ensure all businesses preparing food understand and control the potential hazards associated with their products and processes.
Progress on the consolidation of food regulations
As part of this consultation, a draft summary of proposed regulatory texts and a suite of documents incorporated by reference are being released to demonstrate the CFIA's progress to date.
