The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is advising of changes to import requirements for live poultry, hatching eggs and raw poultry products from France, due to vaccination for HPAI.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is temporarily suspending the importation of all live poultry, hatching eggs, and raw fresh/frozen poultry products originating from France, effective October 1, 2023.
This measure is being taken to manage the potential risk from France’s vaccination campaign for Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI).
More information can be found in this Notice to Industry. It will be updated as more information becomes available, so please bookmark it and check back frequently.
If you have any questions about these changes, please contact the Animal Products and By-products Import inbox at APABPImport@inspection.gc.ca.
For routine inquiries, your local CFIA office remains your first point of contact.
